Not to arrange childcare?

About 6 months ago dh and I were invited to the evening reception of a wedding. Bride used to work with DH and he hasn't seen her in over a year. He's never met the groom and I have never met either of them. I can't really be arsed with going to the wedding as I won't know anyone there (DH probably won't either) and the effort of getting ready etc isn't worth it to spend an evening making small talk with strangers. Dh wanted to go though so I said I'd go with him. He mentioned that we would need to ask someone to look after the DC and suggested asking my parents. I said they'd likely be willing and he should check with them. Wedding is next weekend and he hasn't asked them. I've reminded him that we can't go without childcare and that he needs to sort something. I know that I could just ask them myself but this wedding is very low effort for dh (bung on a suit and go) and higher effort for me and I'm not bothered about going in the first place. Aibu to say if he wants to go he needs to arrange childcare?

Seems a bit petty, I think when life is busy it's easy to drop a ball. If you didn't want to.go you should have said so upfront, rather then sabotaging my omission which isn't fair on the host

Why do you want to check the packed lunches he makes . This sounds passive aggressive on his part in response to micromanaging on yours. Doesn't sound like good communication or teamwork at all

I absolutely do not want to check the contents of packed lunches. Ever. Hence the hill dying.
