1. 3 week old on vacation...

   

   Discussion by lyndausvi · May 2011 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

   I have to give a side-eye to this couple who took their 3 week old on a corporate incentive trip and was upset that we would not allow him/her on our 8 hour to JVD. The main reason is they could not get a birth certificate in time and we were NOT about to take an un-documented newborn across international boarders. But a 3…

   I can't even imagine how terrible it must be to have to cart a 3 week old baby through the airport. I think it would probably be a bit uncomfortable to travel 3 weeks post-partum.

   Yeah, I'd totally side-eye that, too. Also, when you have a 3 week old child, do you really want to be travelling like that? *side note, I'm not a mother, so I have no idea, but I would think that at 3 weeks, you would still be a little tired and not up for something like that. Maybe I'm wrong.

   That seems pretty crazy. My BFF is getting married in St. Lucia around when I'll have a 3 week old and there is no way in hell I'm going.

   Ciara -- adorable new sig pic! How are you managing at home? I'd side-eye that mom too. I just don't think an 8 hour optional boat trip with a 3 year old baby is a good idea.

   Yeah.. it was just weird altogether. We have had a 4 week on the boat before. The difference was they were locals and it was only a 1.5 hour sunset sail. She just slept in her carrier. She is now 3 and still comes on the boat. They didn't started taking her on the 8 hour trips until she was a few months old.

   There is no way I will be taking my 3 week old anywhere other than local trips. DH wants to go visit his grandma before he goes back to work on the 24th, Edmund won't even be a month old yet. We would be driving 10 hours to his moms house then another 2 hours to his grandmas and then back home. We'll see.

   Ummm that just sounds crazy to me. I feel bad that my nephew will be a little over 3 weeks when my sister comes with him for my wedding. I can't imagine her being willing to get on a boat with him. Edit: Me and sis only live an hour apart so it's not a really long trip she's taking to make it either.

   No way would I have taken DD with me on vacation. At 3 weeks post partim, I didn't even want to leave my house for Christmas! I'd consider a trip now that she's 5mo but no effing way did I feel up to traveling or putting on a bathing suit at that point. I dont want to put on one thus summer!

    Awww Ciara - how precious! Congrats - he is beautiful! When my youngest was 5 weeks old, my exH and I went on a 10 hour road trip to see my family and also work, but it was not fun at all. Those parents are a bit nuts to be dragging out a newborn on a boat that early.
