[quote=Anonymous]We have two events to which we are invited over Memorial Day.

The first one, which we originally planned to go to is a wedding for my husband's side of the family.  We got the invitation today with a handwritten note asking that our son hang out in the kids' room during the ceremony.  He can come to the reception.  My son is 9 not 2.  If he were 6 or under I wouldn't have a problem with this but he can sit for 20 minutes and not be disruptive to the ceremony.  Ultimately, I know people are entitled to have the wedding they want and I get not wanting kids, but then don't invite them at all.  It just rubbed me the wrong way.  It rubbed my husband the wrong way too but we don't know what to do about it. I'm not going to say anything. This event is relatively local.

The other event is for my family a 90th birthday party for my dad's cousin.  My dad passed away about 7 years ago and this cousin was very close to him.  I haven't seen that side of the family in a long time and would like to go.  When I realized the events were on the same weekend, I was bummed, but figured there was nothing I could do. With the new information, I/we are reconsidering. This event requires a plane ride or a 10 hour car ride.  This side of the family wants to see my son.

What would you do in this situation.

Suck it up and go to the wedding?
Go to the birthday party?
Take my son to the birthday party and have my husband go to the wedding?  (I'm pretty sure my husband would say no to this option)

Am I wrong for having this reaction?
