In genuine need of a sense check here.
My DH’s cousin is getting married at the end of next month. The wedding is in Wales, we live in Kent. They are having the ceremony one weekend (weekend one) with only a small number of invited guests and then the following weekend (weekend two) they are having a big celebration with lots of people in a rural location. I will be staying at home with our two DSs, aged 2 and 4 months.
DH wants to go to both ‘parts’ of the wedding, which will mean he’s away for two full weekends in a row, due to the travel time. I think I’ll struggle to manage both boys on my own for two weekends, particularly overnight as they both wake up multiple times a night, often at the same time and I can’t be in two places at once. Baby is fully breastfed and our older one is having a daddy phase and is currently refusing to be put to bed by me. I’m just not really sure how I’m going to manage this and I’m really not looking forward to it.
I have asked DH if he minds just going to one ‘part’ of the wedding, either weekend one or weekend two, but it turns out he very much does mind and wants to go to both. I think he’s being unfair. Is he?
AIBU to insist he only goes to one?
