What would you do?
I've been invited to a family wedding. It's my husbands side of the family, so I dont neccesairly mind if I miss it. It's his aunt, but she is the same age as him (around 30). Children and babies are not allowed at the wedding. I understand. That's not a problem. Yet I have 4 children and am currently pregnant again and will be around 6 months at the time of the wedding. The youngest child will be 12 months. I am cosleeping with the youngest. I've told husband I may not be able to attend the whole of the wedding. Starts at 12 pm but to get ready and leave etc... I would have to leave the children with my mum either in the morning or the day before. It's tricky for me as right now my youngest is verryyy clingy. I dont mind. They were all clingy at some point, but now not so much. She still gets bf to sleep and will probably do so at that age. I breastfed all children till around 20-22 months. So she's got a. Way to go. She does not take a bottle. Even though I'm trying to get her on. My husband wants me to stay all day and into the night at the wedding. I've told him I may have to leave. But he doesn't want to. My mum is saying I should come back to put baby to sleep as that's all she knows, and it's not fair on her. Which I understandthat too. Plus, she'll be watching all the children ages 3-12months and trying to put that 12month year old to sleep without me. I think she's a bit worried. What would you do in this situation. I told my husband I could attend the ceremony and then leave. Would you stay away from your baby for the whole day....I don't really feel comfortable doing that, but at the same time, I don't know what to do
If you are not comfortable and your mom has never done this before, I think attending the day and going back home is a good compromise. If you are not comfortable you will not enjoy the day and be stressed which can ruin the day for everyone. It’s important that you feel ok about it, so, suggest the compromise, it’s more than fair. Except if your husband comes up with a better idea.
