DD is 19 months and I have been back at work for 4 days a week since she was a year old. We have a nanny for 3.5 days a week, who DD loves to bits, and she has recently started going to nursery for one morning a week as we thought it was important for her to have some time with other children also.
We have received a couple of invitations to child free weddings in the next few months. Perhaps naively, I hadn't thought check whether we could take DD with us and now the formal invitations have arrived and it's clear that they're adults only weddings. Totally fair enough - everyone has the right to decide how they want their wedding to be. It's possible that we could get some childcare but AIBU not to want to leave her? Partly because she sees so little of us during the week anyway and partly because she is pretty clingy at the moment and it seems likely from our experience with starting nursery that she would be distressed (in particular, putting her to bed would be a crunch point, I think, and would probably involve tears). Am I being ridiculous? Obviously I know we'll have to leave her at some point - and we have left her with my parents for a day and a half when she was little and less insistent that she only wanted me or DH or our nanny. That wss fine, so I suspect that this is just a phase, but I can't help feeling that the pleasure I'd get from standing in high heels all day would be outweighed by her level of distress. Probably I'm being pfb?
