[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, the kids will be 2 and 4 at the wedding.  Not one and three.  Pretty big difference.  [/quote]

Sure, the 4 YO will be easier, but it’s not like the leap from 1-2 is all that much. I say that with a very well behaved kid, even the best behaved 2 YO is going to be a wiggly, show stealing toddler. [/quote]

It’s easier for a grandparent to deal with a 2 year old than a 1 year old.  Ask me how I know. [/quote]

DP - the OP said that the kids "will be" one and three at the time of the wedding.

Also, plenty of one year olds (true one year olds, not a 19 month old) are easier to manage than a two year old.  They're usually less mobile, less tantrumy, etc.  My kids were far easier at one year than they were at two years.[/quote]

Again, I am talking about this from a grandparent perspective, and you are not one.  [/quote]

How do you know that? Are you in PP's living room? Checking out her family tree on ancestry.com?[/quote]

Snort.  I'm the PP in question.  I'm not a grandparent, but I also don't see how that matters.  The grandparent on this thread doesn't speak for all grandparents; also, not all two year olds are more difficult than all one year olds (again, for all grandparents).  That's utter nonsense.[/quote]

No, THIS is utter nonsense:

“I’m trying to figure out how to deal with childcare. We have a nanny, but it would be super expensive to fly her out and pay all the overtime that would be required. But I think it’s our only real option. I’m not comfortable with hiring someone we don’t know at the location. I don’t think we can have just DH attend the events and have me watch the kids.

Anyone been in a similar situation? Am I missing a potential solution?”

And she never mentions that her parents have been invited and have even offered to babysit![/quote]

Why are you even bothering to post on this thread, if you think it's so ridiculous?  The OP acknowledged she forgot that her parents offered to help; people sometimes forget things, especially parents of very young kids.  Why are you so worked up?[/quote]
