Kids In The Wedding
My fiance wants to have his half brother and sister stand as jr. Groomsman & brides maid in our wedding. The problem is they are ADHD and bi-polar and VERY out of control. Their mother isn`t going to be able to come. (she has already threated to fight with my fiance`s father) So my fiance will have to take care of them all day...and he isn`t seeing the problem with this. And now to make matters worse he wants his little cousins to be ushers. They `re 13 & 16. I don`t want kids in the wedding! But how do I put my foot down with out making him P-ed off?

OHHH HOW CAN U BE SO NASTY? I BET THE KIDS WOULD LOVE TO BE IN THE WEDDING AND IF YOU EXPLAINED TO THEM ABT YOU WANT THEM TO CONDUCT THEMSELVES YOU MAY BE SUPRISED! THERE IS NO REASON GETTING UPSET WITH YOUR FIANCE HE IS DOING THE NICE THING. IMAGINE IF YOU HAD CHILDREN WITH THE SAME CONDITION HOW WOULD YOU FEEL? GO ON GIVE THEM A GO

Why dont you just make sure they take there meds? and sit down with them and tell them to be on there best behavior.. My brother is ADHD so i know what that is like. But there really isnt a way to bring it up and not upset your fiancee. And if your dead set on not having them in the wedding than explain it to your fiancee and maybe he`ll understand.

I can see your point, it is a day that your husband should be focused on you and your commitment. On the other hand, it sounds like a good trait to have in a partner, willing to give, patient,thoughtful of children and involving others. Maybe you could inlist a bridesmaid or groomsmen to also help with watching them. How old are they? Could their father supervise them?

This is YOUR day...kids are unpredictable, especially with their situation...you have this day only once and all it takes is one temper tantrum to ruin the spirit of your romantic day. You should be able to communicate this to your partner...communication is key! You don`t want regrets and those kids won`t remember their temper tantrums 10 minutes after they happen but you will remember them spoiling your long awaited moment forever. Have the kids be a part of the rehersal dinner instead and give them a "special job" to feel included like handing out flowers to all of your guests at the rehersal dinner. I would also give them a special gift letting them know how special they are...they are special and should be treated so, just not during YOUR moment.

HOW SAD, 3 sons, Roger 37 bi-polar and Billy 35 paranoid/schiz. Both are going to walk me to my groom! I am proud of them. My Grandson and only Grandchild will be my ringbearer. If anything happens, no one will laugh or make fun of them. They are beautiful children. On the sad side, when my Mother passed on, July 7, 2001, my brother included 2 of my sons as palbears and excluded my son Billy to be hateful, and my sister a former nun and school librarian now, was so hateful to my son, Billy. When it came time to cover my Mother`s casket at the church, I wanted my son, Billy, who was the one my mother favored, help me, and my sister and brother threw a fit in front of everyone. They looked like the asses. And my son had some closure. I thank God, I helped my son. DO NOT DO THIS TO YOUR FAMILY. Especially starting out in your marriage. He will NEVER FORGIVE YOU, nor, will he FORGET. If you did not cry about my story, you will be crying someday if you exclude them. Give them extra things to do. I have a step-grandaughter 17 from hell. She is going to be helping with Hawaiian/American name tags for everyone, and helping them get their souvier coconut drinking cups/names on them. She is also going to do video, and a neighbor will do video also. My Grandson is going to carry a coconut to our cermony alter with our rings. I am so very blessed. Try to soften your heart and God will reward you many times. Email me on your thoughts at tisglory@aol.com The very best to you. We are setting up a website for pics and video for everyone as well. ............. Glory

A wedding is a special day indeed. It is meant to be cherished to the day you die. Kids on the other hand are evil and should be beaten regularly. If they are incouragable they should be put down like the sick animal that they are. I say an overdose of meds should take care of your problem.
