What's up guys? Dj ESG Honest Wedding Advice, season number 10, episode number four. And today I'm talking about kids at the event. Yes, a lot of times people have little ones. I get it. Your sister, your brother, your aunt, your uncle, your cousins. They have little kids, and not inviting them is like saying, fuck you, we don't want your whole family here, we just want you. And it's hard I I mean it's really hard not to invite somebody's kids, unless you're willing to go out on a limb and say listen, nobody's kids are coming. It is a kid free event, and you make that really clear ahead of time. But if you have people coming in from out of town and they're bringing their kids, you can't just call up some random babysitter. Yo, I'm from nebraska, uh, my kids are here. They're not allowed to go to my sister's wedding because kids are paying the ass at a wedding. Anybody want to watch them. You know your name's, jenny. You went to college over here. It's high school over there. Somebody named Barbara told me to call you. My kids have never met you before in their life and you're going to watch my kids during the wedding. Great, sure.

It's one of those things, though, where you know kids can make or break a wedding because they don't know what to do with themselves. They run around in circles, they get bored you know it's not a space for kids. And then they start asking you for some crazy ass, weird songs that you know nobody's gonna listen to except their parents. They're like, oh, look at them and they're cute and we're playing disney and everybody's clapping. And then all the people that don't have kids, who are the younger people you know, are just like uh, here we go again. I want to listen to my music. I'm drinking, I'm drunk, I'm having a good time and we're listening to disney music. It's fantastic. Or, oh my god, there's the lego song. Or all of a sudden, pokemon comes on her, oh god. Even worse, miley cyrus as hannah montana. So, uh, you know there's some lizzie mcguire shit. It's a tough call. You know there's some Lizzie McGuire shit. It's a tough call.

You know, if you're gonna have kids, understand that little circles might break open. Kids might be running all over the place. They may, you know, engulf the dance floor. Their parents may not have full attention Of what's going on. You might not have their parents' full attention. Mom and dad might not be able to drink and party and hang out and, you know, be on the dance floor with you.

If you're the bride, you don't have the kids. Now, if you're the bride and you have the kids and your sister's got kids and your sister's husband's sister has kids and the groom's sister has kids and his brother and his wife have kids and all this other jazz, now that's different. Your Christmas and Hanukkah are already in cults with these children, but different when you're inviting people. And you're inviting people and you're the bride and groom and you want to have a dance party and all of a sudden, the kids are just taking over the place. So I just want you to understand that. People ask all the time should I have kids or shouldn't I have kids? Well, what do you want? Your dance floor to look like A rager, or you want your dance floor to look like something that broke open in the middle of Disney's Playhouse? It's really up.
