[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The care.com etc is such a red herring.

No one is obligated to go to a wedding other than the bride, groom, officiant and two witnesses.

No one else is required to show up. Hosts can make it easier in hopes of maximizing who can attend or harder in hopes of minimizing the list.[/quote]

I don’t think that anyone is saying that Op is obligated to go.  Just that BIL isn’t a horrific monster who doesn’t care about his children just because he wants to hire a babysitter so he can go to the wedding.   [/quote]

I think BIL hiring a sitter is fine. MIL expecting that *OP* will be the sitter is incredibly presumptuous and disrespectful. BIL assuming that *OP* has arrangements he can freeload on is pretty presumptuous as well but not monstrous.[/quote]

Like mother like son.  :lol: [/quote]

This is true it’s an unusual situation where my DCUM reaction “who RAISES these people?!?” has a ready answer. [/quote]
