[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I CANNOT believe that people are criticizing SIL for running a marathon. Geez, what’s wrong with you all? It is not self-indulgent of a mom of small kids to train for and run a marathon. It’s downright impressive.  And she probably had this on the calendar way before this absurd 3pm on a Friday or wedding.

I understand that BIL might be disappointed that he easy childcare plans aren’t working out the way he hoped, but the cousin (who planned this mid-week wedding in an out of the way location), the BIL and the MIL should work to arrange a sitter for BIL’s kids (*if* he still wants to come).

And no one should be criticizing OP for not wanting to go and not wanting to be a weekend nanny for four kids under 5.

Nothing impressive about a marathon at that stage of life.  It is similar to buying a corvette during a mid-life crisis.[/quote]

New poster here. There is something wrong with you. [/quote]

I will remind you she has a 1yo and 3yo at home.  Why do a marathon now?  Why is that such a priority?  This is the most confusing part of the story here for me.[/quote]

Are you kidding me? You have got to be joking. Do you think women who have children can’t participate in sports or anything that isn’t directly related to childcare or husband care? Do you live on a compound with sister wives. Girl pack a suitcase and escape. [/quote]
