[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You mean overnight? Good for you. Here is your cookie. [/quote]

Yes.  I watched a friend’s kids when her third baby was born.  So I had five kids under five at my house.  It wasn’t really that big of a deal.   
 
I wouldn’t see it as a favor to BIL, but more as something nice I was doing for my husband.

Would never do that.[/quote]

I think there are a lot of anxious people on this forum.  [/quote]
