I say "too hard basket" stay put!!

DS1 was supposed to be in the wedding party for my brother. We were all going to go but the wedding was in Victoria and we were living in Western Australia. Then I got pregnant and couldn't be stuffed. Was going to just send DS1 but then looked at the airfares: who the hell gets married 5 days before Christmas??!!!

Rang my brother and said, sorry, no can do. You know what? The wedding went off well and we weren't talked about (well, my mum said we weren't).

The moral of the story:

DO WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU AND YOURS .... BUGGER THE REST I SAY!!

Oh, and what Peanutter said: buy a really good present and send it in your stead. A naming day is a non-religious christening/baptism thing. Never understood it myself
