I agree and posted so upthread. But I still think the marriage is doomed. Both OP and the wife are too strong-willed and spiteful.

So what happened? Read first 2 pages. Fascinated

I agree. I’d want my husband home and NOT go but in reality I’d tell him to go and take the 2 yr old

Coming from all directions, mommy boy attitude of OP seems to be playing a major role in damaging otherwise a healthy marriage?

I am seeing more of MIL&OP vs Wife. I feel so bad for the wife that she has to endure this nonsense while being pregnant with OP's 2nd child. Why can't OP give her a peaceful and uneventful 9 months?

Your son is too young to be a ringbearer.

Your wife comes first. Support her decision to focus on the baby post-birth. It's enough that you go to the wedding, leaving her alone to care for the two kids.

She, on the other hand is being perfectly reasonable by staying home and encouraging you to go. If you believe you have enough help there, go and take your toddler so she can stay home and recover with the new born.

I also wouldn’t be keen on travelling on a flight that long with a newborn, before they’ve had vaccinations.


I travelled on a flight to Europe with two under age 6 and a 4-week old. The difference between me and this PP and OP'a wife is that In have common sense and do not consider myself a hot-house princess.

Yes, OP, your wife is unreasonable. Why doesn't she just stay home and stop making everyone else miserable.


Wow, I think traveling internationally by plane with a 4 week old is pretty irresponsible and to be avoided unless it’s absolutely impossible. Don’t pat yourself on the back too hard, PP.


My OB and Pediatrician thought it was fine and so did I. Who are you to question my medical team?


You opened up the "questioning" by posting. That's kind of how this works.

100% you wife is right - plan for her not to go. she could have a c-section, or go late, baby cold have complications, nursing could be difficult. either way she will be exhausted and baby will be unvacccinated, asking her to travel is completely unreasonable.

This is the ONLY correct response. YOU are being a douche, OP.

If you'd bothered reading even just a couple of pages, you'd know that this thread (and the reason for all the pages) actually has very little to do with traveling with a newborn.
