My sister in law is getting married to a really nice guy. She and her fiance want a child free wedding and reception. The wedding is taking place in her fiance's hometown. My sister in law wants us to leave our kids with someone that we don't know. My husband and I don't trust a lot of people with our children, and we're NOT about to leave our kids with a complete stranger.

We've told my sister in law, that if our kids aren't invited, we're not attending her wedding. We want her to make an exception for her nephews and niece, after all they are a part of her family. She says that she can't afford to have our children in attendance. We've offered to pay for their plates, but she says that if she allows our children, she will have to allow other people to bring their children. My husband and I won't travel 1,200 miles, to attend her wedding, and not be able to have our children with us. Our children are very well behaved, and I don't understand why we can't bring them with us.

Seriously, what would you do if you we're in my shoes?
