A close friend of mine is getting married and we've been friends since high school. I have 2 young DC (3&4) and a third due in a couple of months so at her wedding ill have a 8/10 week old baby. Her wedding is a child free event and though im happy to leave the older 2 I wouldnt be comfortable leaving the younger one because I plan to bf like i have done with the other 2.
The other problem is that the wedding is a 2 hour drive from where i live and its a day thing and on a friday so it means DH wont be coming as he works, my family live 3 hours away and my in laws arnt very hands on and almost all my friends here have young kids to so I couldn't really rely on anyone else.
My eldest will also be at school that day so DH is happy to pick him up etc and the 2nd is at nursery. So my question is what would you do? Would you go to the wedding or just politely say no. I know me not going would cause problems as my other childhood friends will all be there (none have kids).
