"After stating that she sees newborns as "nonexistent," she clarified her reasons why, saying that they mostly sleep. People quickly chimed in to share their thoughts and experiences, like another mom @Romy_Holland, who said she was upset she couldn't attend a wedding her partner was in with her baby because newborns were, in fact, considered kids. So, with all the back and forth, @LizWolfeReason remained confused on whether or not newly-birthed babies are 100% children."
"This made @LizWolfeReason hyper aware of how she would look to others if her baby was "approved" to come to this wedding. So, we want to hear your thoughts on this. Or if you think excluding children at weddings is unreasonable, given that your guests will have to pay for childcare, etc. Let us know in the comments, or in the anonymous comments form below:"
A viral exchange on X focuses on whether newborns should be treated as children under child-free wedding policies. One person labeled newborns "nonexistent" and justified that stance by noting that newborns mostly sleep. Other participants pushed back, with a mother reporting she missed a wedding because newborns were considered children and therefore excluded. A participant expressed confusion about whether newly-birthed babies qualify as 100% children and noted concern about social perception if a baby were "approved" to attend. The debate highlights tensions between event hosts' preferences, parental access, and the financial and logistical burdens of childcare.
