[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 don’t think this is the obvious compromise, but it would be wise for OP to propose it to see if it would work for his wife (and be willing to hear “no”, because it very well may not work).[/quote]
