[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dh's cousin is getting married at 3pm on a Friday two hours away from home so we'd have to leave by noon at the latest if we went. Our kids are 5 and 2. On Fridays, our older one gets out of school at 3pm and our little one only has a half day of daycare til 12:30 then comes home for nap....

I'm perfectly happy with DH going to the wedding alone and staying home with my kids, but I don't have a PTO day to take and just really don't want the 4 little kids alone for the night. AITA?[/quote]

2 hour drive for a 3 pm Friday wedding.  No PTO so on a normal Friday the OP would be picking 1 up at 12:30-down for a nap- then picking up the other at 3.  OP works from home about 4 hours Friday pm.  The BIL wife can skip her recreational marathon to deal with her kids. No reason for OP lose PTO to do a marathon babysit.  One marathon has to go and it's not  the horrid inlaws choice of the babysitting.

Let the inlaws + that dad  rotate babysitting those 2 kids. Not your problem OP so stay put and let the DH go- he can drive 2 and return 2 hours same day solo.  [/quote]
