Evening wedding

A close family member of mine is getting married, but it’s an evening wedding that starts at 6pm🫠 LO’s bedtime is between 7-8pm and I know there’s going to be a lot of hustle, bustle and noise and am not sure if I should go.
A part of me is saying it’s just for one evening, go, enjoy, have good food and see people I haven’t seen in a while.
But another part of me knows LO might get cranky, and I also feel guilty. My baby is not the type that falls asleep anywhere unfortunately so I know it could be difficult - would it then ultimately suck the fun out of the evening?
Any advice? What do you guys think I should do? To go or to not?

We’ve always gone about our lives and the kids have slotted in. Give baby an extra nap/ longer naps so they’ll stay up a bit later.

If you never go out in the evenings/ around bedtime you’ll find yourself chained to bedtime as LO gets older. We have friends who can’t be out past 7pm even on holiday! Different strokes for different folks but that was never for us x

You should go! As Yasmin said you can help your LO get extra naps. As much as you want your baby to sleep well you've gotta have fun and live your life just as much x

Thank you both! I think I’ll go and just take the day as it comes x

Views on a situation please!

So me and my partner have been together 6 years, engaged for 3, baby girl who is now 19 months old.

Living situation me and my daughter live with my parents but my partner lives on his RAF Base / his parents on a weekend when he comes home ( Friday to Sunday ).

We put an application form in for RAF Base Housing months ago. Nothing thinking we would be offered one due to not being married yet.

Yesterday ( Monday ) we got an email to say we have been offered a 3 Bed house. The only issue is we are currently in gloucester, but the house on the base we have been offered is 2 hours away from home / work / nurseries for me.

I’ve been wanting to leave my current job for a while now as it’s slowly just getting worse and enjoyable anymore.

I’ve told my parents and they’ve said there happy for me to move out the only concern they have is the distance off the house we have been offered which I completely agree with.

I don’t know how I feel about being that far away from my family…

What would you do in my situation?

I miss my husband

My husband and I have been together for 11 years and married for 5. He is my middle school sweetheart and the only boy I’ve ever dated. We had our son back in April. Since we’ve been married we’ve always had a good sex life, but since I got pregnant, it has changed a lot. I had a horrendous pregnancy so that was why we couldn’t do it much then. Now we’re just so busy taking care of the baby we don’t have time to spend together anymore. We haven’t had sex in almost 3 weeks. We can hardly even have a meal together at dinner because of the baby screaming. I can’t say enough good things about my husband as a husband and father. He is definitely not an issue here. He is absolutely amazing. I just miss us. I miss him even though we’re in the same house every day. Can someone please tell me it’s not always going to be this way and it gets better?

Am I being dramatic?

I had a fight with my baby daddy in which he took my 2 kids to his mom's house while I was at work & he said he "was not bringing them back" & that I can "visit". The following is a conversation I had with his mom. Am I in the wrong for wanting to keep my distance from her? For context, his mom is a heavy smoker (when we lived with her she never respected the fact that we had babies & would sometimes smoke weed inside.) She has a weird boyfriend that stalked her, hacked her phone, broke her windshield, slashed her tires & put a tracker in her car (he followed me to my mom's house with his best friend thinking I was her.) she lives at HIS house & she has always made her kids jealous of my babies (her daughter had a dream of killing my babies & just laughed it off when I asked if she would). Sorry this was long but I can also go into more details. My babies are 2 years and a 9 month old, exclusively breastfed & have NEVER slept away from me..
