Question:
 

i have a delema. a BIG one.

we are going to a wedding in 4 weeks. my kids are in the bridal party. I was just informed that my kids are NOT invited to the

reception and have no one to babysit as all my family apart from my dad dont talk to me and my dad is busy that night. i cant leave my kids with a babysitter for 2 reasons cant afford it and my son freaks at new ppl.

what do i do. do i just not go to the reception, but it is my SIL.

HELP

My Advice:

When I got married we had a no kids policy but saying that normally if the kids are in the bridal party they should be allowed to reception. Also for our wedding we had a close friend of our who was in the same boat. She rang me to explain the situation and to ask if it was ok for the kids to come. Of course I said yes.  If your SIL is a approachable person mabey sit her down and explain the situation. I can understand where you are coming from and if you did get a babysitter in you possible wouldnt enjoy the night as you will be worrying how your son is coping. Was the kids allowed to go to the reception earlier? if so just gently let you SIL know that as they were allowed to reception before you havent got a sitter. If she is totally unreasonable and turns into bridzella i would just say well sorry then if my kids dont go I dont go.

Hope this helps
