Well I just skipped from page 1 to 4 because it was all a bunch of blahblah blah.

I think the point the OP missed was that this inconvient one month old child will be her own FLESH AND BLOOD niece/nephew. I don't know about other PP, but I love my baby niece like nothing else. I do not and will not ever see her as an inconvience. I think the MOH/sister was extremely polite to not say "fuuck you" when she was told some random stranger was going to be babysitting her newborn because he/she wasn't allowed.

Birdie -- I think the OP gets it. She's not the one arguing.

Yeah I should have made my message directed more towards that other chick. Sorry

if mom wants to bring the kid, go right ahead. I had no qualms about babies at my wedding and was actually a little upset that my nephew was not at mine (he was 5 months old at the time and stayed with his other grandma that weekend). also, I remember when my aunt got married, my youngest sister was only 2 months old. my mom was the MOH and my baby sister was at the wedding and even had a dress that matched my and my other sister's flower girl dresses. she was in the nursery during the ceremony, and mom took care of her during the reception.

If you want your sister there then you have to accept the fact that her child will be there.
Just as a side note - we have 65 children invited to the wedding, and 61 have been confirmed. All under the age of 13. My brother will have a newborn there. Baby will only be 2 weeks old tops. I am fine with the fact that they may have to leave early. his oldest - my 4 year old nephew is in the wedding party - along with 5 other children.
we couldnt imagine our wedding without all the kids. 4 of them are even on medications for add or adhd and we are fine with the fact that they might get a little more crazy.

65?? Wow...how big is your wedding?

For the record, we had kids at ours, but his siblings/ or siblings kids only. I think there were 12 or so. I told one friend who was coming from back home that her son was invited since I knew she may not be able to make it without him, although she ended up not being able to make it:( And we also had a couple bring their kids last minute due to a babysitter problem. They were going to cancel but we told them it was no problem.

One of the babies cried out during the ceremony for a couple seconds. I didn't even notice it...I heard it on the video later.

[QUOTE]Alright as a mom, I'm more than able to tell you that you've got it all backwards. First off, those babies will sleep the ENTIRE time, while those wonderful little toddlers you're insisting on having will be tearing the joint up. <strong>Second, no mother in their right mind would ever leave their one month old alone with anyone, not even grandparents, let alone a random babysitter.</strong>Third, in regards to your MOH, you're asking her to pick between your wedding and her CHILD. You lose, hands down. Personally, I think you're the one being unreasonable, and to be completely honest, a little rude. I know I would never pick anyones wedding, not even my own, over my own child. And I would be more than hurt if someone expected me to leave my newborn alone for four hours with a stranger just because they didn't want my child "ruining" their wedding.

Yeah, see, I'm in my right mind, I left my two week old daughter with my mother for a couple hours. My daughter is now 13, she's fine.

<div>Dude, me too. My husband and I went on a date when kiddo was 2 weeks old. My mother kept me alive for the 17 years I lived in her house. I trust she can keep him alive for three hours. </div>
