[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 [b]nanny[/b] 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 [b]DH could hang out with his brother.[/b]  I wouldn’t expect someone [b]flying in from out of town to arrange their own childcare.[/b]  [/quote]

The OP situation is:
wedding is 2 hours drive for OP one way-traffic?  
no kids wedding is at 3 pm on a Friday- ceremony. Reception?
intended babysitter by MIL is OP not a nanny- OP uses PTO, rents a hotel room, all to babysit?

This thing is not a fly to DCA and all local wedding events.  This MIL is so off base- what's next for BIL's benefit on the request list?  Airport pick up in Philadlphia and OP lives in Rockville?
