[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The wedding is the weekend before xmas so OP wants to stay for 10+ days either at his parents' or in a hote[/b]l.

At the same time he will have a newborn 5 week old (if all goes as expected) who will not be vaccinnated until 2 months old (germs in winter are terrible), will be feeding every 2 hours, and a wife in the throes of sleep deprivation, feeding, and repairing her body.

And all OP can talk about is how he wants to kiss his mom's @$$ and stay at her house for two weeks and do wedding and his family of origin stuff. Meanwhile, his parents are consistently jerks to his wife and are never around kids whatsoever.

Go to wedding yourself and get back to your wife, 2 yo and newborn at home. 
Start behaving like a husband and father of two children. [/quote]

Your facts are wrong.  His wife's family lives in the same city so they would stay with his wife's brother and also see her family during the visit for Christmas.  It's not all about his family for the Christmas visit.  [/quote]

Note that OP's wife is forgoing Christmas with her OWN family to avoid this wedding and week with the in-laws.  That tells me all I need to know about how bad this is.

The ONLY WAY OP has any hope of getting his wife to reconsider the toddlers attendance at the wedding only is if a) OP's parents offer a heartfelt and honest and abject apology for their behaviour, and b) OP lines up a full-time caregiver for the whole weekend that is not an immediate family member or member of the wedding party.  Wife's mom might be a good candidate if wife can make do without her at home if she only has the newborn.[/quote]

Not clear to me where it said that both sets of grandparents live very near this wedding and each other. 
Either way, 5 weeks old don't do winter snow travel, wedding parties, and living in hotels. [/quote]
