We have a family wedding tomorrow, and with impeccable timing my husband has come down with covid. We have a 4 year old DS and nearly 2 year old DD and the idea of taking them both on my own is giving me the willies quite frankly.
It’s a two-hour drive to start, so by the time we get there I will likely be out of patience, and more crucially, snacks. It’s a traditional type thing with a service, meal and disco, and we have booked to stay over.
I would have my mother and sister in law there to help a bit, but this will certainly bring down the enjoyment factor for them to be dealing with the frequent tantrums/scrapping/dicking around at the table etc. I would also have to leave the party at the younger one’s bedtime and deal with the night wakings alone, which are numerous at the moment. I struggle with this.
My husband is ok with having the two year old here as he’s not that sick, so I can take just DS and have a much better time all round. But I worry my in-laws will judge me for not being able to hack having the two of them, and would want to see DD. AIBU for wanting to take just the one and have a stab at a rare bit of fun?
