[quote=Anonymous]My 2 cents:

-why on earth would you even WANT to bring a 2yo and 3mo to the very small local ceremony and small formal dinner? This sounds like a nightmare to me, TBH. I’d be thrilled to leave the kids at home with a sitter or DH. I would not bring the kids even if they WERE invited. Especially since it is local. If I need to duck out to nurse or pump, or leave early, then so be it.

-is it not a foregone conclusion that you would NOT be attending a destination wedding with a 2yo and 3mo anyway? Even if they WERE invited? I would not even consider it. If the kids were older, sure. So what does it even matter if they are invited or not?

-it is generally reasonable & considered within the “norm” to leave a 3mo with the child’s other parent or a trusted family member or sitter for a short time. Many 3mo olds are in the care of daycare or a nanny already, as the parents have returned to work. It is by no means some sort of personalized slap in the face to expect this- given the event is quite important & very much local. If you were 2wks postpartum or something, that would be different.
