We've been invited to a christening this weekend and I've just found out it involves a sit down meal at a very posh place. The hosts have said that we have to say for definite if we'll stay for the meal which I understand since they have to pay per head.
That said, my sixteen month DS is prone to tantrums, will be the only child (other than babies) there and will be missing his nap as the service starts late morning and meal isn't until 2/3. So there's a good chance he'll have a melt down and go ape long before the meal.
If it was you, would you accept, knowing the hosts would be really annoyed if you took him home early so there was no option to play it by ear? Or just turn down the meal bit and stay for a glass of champagne which is our other alternative?
Really uncertain of what to do and feeling like I'm being really lame to be worried about it. Very curious as to what other people with toddler experience would do! x
