to just not go?

[bebe11]

Sil is having a birthday party in 2 months time. She has indicated on invite "no children". Fair enough her party her rules. However, I did ask whether rules applied to our soon to be born dc2. Apparently we can bring dc2 if breastfeeding but not otherwise.
Obviously I am hoping this will be a non issue as I plan to breastfeed. However, if I don't manage to would it be reasonable to not attend? Obv dh would still go. I really don't feel happy leaving a 6 week old with a babysitter. Or am I abit plb?

I COULDN'T HAve left 6 week old DD with a baby sitter

YANBU. I've nothing against the "no children" type of invites at all, I feel that it's down to the host to make the rules, not me, but if you don't want to go that's equally fine. But, are you sure that she means literally that you can only take the baby if she or he is breastfeeding or does she mean that babes in arms are welcome but older children aren't invited? It sounds a bit oddly-worded.

YANBU. See what happens and how you feel, but anyone who is annoyed with a person who has a 6 week old baby and as a result is unable to attend an adults-only evening party is a twat. HTH.

YANBU! If any chooses to have a childfree party then they must accept guests may not be able to attend. Expecting someone to leave a six week old is madness.

Of course YANBU. Method of feeding irrelevant.

YANBU Hosts get to make the rules, guests get to choose whether to accept or decline the invitation.

If I were you I would put it tgat you will not be attending but if you do happen to feel up to it you will pop along for a short while, with the baby.

I guess it could be that dh misunderstood. However, I am more surprised that he agreed to it. I know I have left ds before at an early age but that was for a once in a lifetime opportunity. Plus I knew he would be safe with MIL.
