[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't the obvious compromise that your MIL be invited to the wedding/reception to help with the toddler and baby throughout and then you tell your family that you will stay for maybe 1-2 days after the wedding, but you want a low-key Christmas at home?

I'm a pp that was in a wedding 6 weeks postpartum and my husband stayed with my kids during the ceremony.  During the procession, my six week old (who was a super sweet and easy baby) had a huge spit up, soaking my husband and herself.  Luckily, they were sitting by friends who could watch our toddler while my husband and baby totally changed outfits (we were staying at the hotel where the wedding was taking place).   Six weeks postpartum is a time when you absolutely must have man on man defense going, imo (at least for a wedding or other formal event that is absolutely not a kid-focused event).[/quote]

I think the obvious compromise is that he goes alone, his wife stays home and her mom comes to help with the kids.  He doesn't have to miss the wedding and she doesn't have to go through the shitshow 6 weeks pp with an unvaccinated kid [b]and the threat of a kidnapping through Christmas[/b] hanging over her head.[/quote]

:shock:  :shock:  :shock: WTF PP you guys are insane and I'm so happy I'm not related to any of you. [/quote]

Quote OP: [quote]The wedding is the weekend before Christmas. So [b]if we travel back for the wedding, we will stay through Christmas and visit all of my extended family who will be in town for the wedding, and especially my parents. I believe this is a situation she is trying to avoid.[/b][/quote]

He said himself he's mad she won't suck it up and travel for the wedding since she likes his brother and future SIL, and then slips in 8 pages later that "oh yeah if we go we'll definitely stay for at least a week with my parents, who she has a bad relationship with."  This guy isn't just selfish, he's a manipulator.  And even after 80 or so people telling him he's being unreasonable, he reveals more unreasonable demands while simultaneously digging his heels in.[/quote]
