Many parents feel that weddings are not the ideal environment for toddlers, who may become bored and overwhelmed. One mom expresses her struggles with bringing her toddler to a wedding, where she worries about balancing her responsibilities as a parent while wanting to enjoy the event. The challenge lies in preventing the child from feeling overstimulated in a setting that is not designed for entertainment, and some parents may prefer alternative arrangements for their young children during such events.
"As a mom to a toddler, I LOVE them. I don't want to have to entertain my toddler and ignore the ceremony and the people around me at the reception for hours on end. Weddings are not exciting events for young kids."
"I have to take my toddler to a wedding next month because he's the ring bearer, and I'm absolutely dreading it. I'd much rather have him have a sleepover at grandma's, where he'll have fun and feel safe, than wrangle him at a wedding where he'll alternate between bored and overstimulated constantly."
