[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am impressed with your BIL - flying with a 1 YO and 3 YO by himself.  How long is the flight? 
(These is no way I would watch kids after that)

🙄 everyone is always impressed by a man who does what a mom does daily.

Don’t watch your BILs kids he assumed he’d hatch into your plan without even asking first.  Nannies don’t want to watch 4 kids overnight!

Hold firm. [/quote]

But he did ask, right?  
Three months prior to the wedding, he called and said that he was planning on coming out and asked if their nanny could watch all four kids or if they could hire childcare together.

Personally, I wouldn’t go to this wedding either.  But I would if DH’s brother was flying into town for it.  That’s a different situation.

I would also watch my BIL’s kids for an evening so that DH could hang out with his brother.  I wouldn’t expect someone flying in from out of town to arrange their own childcare.  [/quote]

I just think it's weird that BIL is bringing his kids at all. Seems like a lot of expense and trouble. It's not like his wife is out of town, she just has an event. They can't get a sitter in their hometown?[/quote]

I don’t know that you can care for kids right after a marathon.

I’m guessing that he’s actually not coming after finding out that OP and her husband weren’t planning to go.  That’s probably why MIL got involved in trying to make it happen.  [/quote]
