[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are definitely TA for not trying to solve this problem and find childcare.  This is what care.com is for - you find someone vetted and trustworthy and pay a bit extra for one night.  Or [b]you could have asked your mom or one of your regular babysitters to take a day of PTO and paid extra for that[/b] - did you try that?

Honestly your whole vibe is that you don't care to attend and you didn't really try to figure this out.  But blaming it on the wedding being childfree is dumb.  Most events are childfree, and weddings are more important than most events.[/quote]

You are a TA for suggesting this. I would not hire a rando from the internet to watch my kids overnight either. You are a dumbass. [/quote]

I mean, the OP and her husband have three months.  That seems like enough time to interview several people and find someone.  [/quote]

What? BIL and SIL have 3 months. OP isn't going to the wedding, and therefore doesn't need childcare. [/quote]

I don't see why OP and her spouse are supposed to go to all that effort for a cousin's inconveniently scheduled wedding when they already have a solution.  [/quote]
