She's getting married in January, and I'm a bit of a nervous flyer, but I really want to go. My youngest is a real handful. My husband is good with the kids, but sometimes gets a little uptight. I wonder if I'm being irresponsible and would appreciate any input. Thanks.

My friend, they're HIS children as well, right? Unless he's abusive or neglectful to you and your children (in which case you should ALL leave), that is, if he's a nice, normal guy and you're just worried about his being overwhelmed with the kids, yes, you should go!!! Have you considered that perhaps that would be a positive experience for him to have some bonding time alone with his kids? And, if you're worried, perhaps there are family or friends about that he can count on if he gets overwhelmed. Best luck to you and your family.

Is there a reason your husband is not coming to your sister's wedding? Make certain he is not feeling left out.
You are not irresponsible leaving your kids with their father, as long as he is fit to handle them.
If it turns out that he really wants to go to the wedding, either take the kids too and get a babysitter for the wedding, or leave the kids with other trustworthy relatives at home (such as your in-laws or people on the other side of the family who will not be at the wedding).
Good luck!

The only reason you should not take your husband and kids if it is a financial hardship. Everything you do should involve your husband, he is your best friend not your sister. So if he can't go you should not be able to unless you can't afford to take the whole family. Remember you are as ONE, so you must make your decisions base upon the both of your needs. It like if he was sick and you wanted to go out, you would not leave him home alone just you could party or you would not want him to do you like that. So if you are still trouble after reading my response. Pray and continue to pray! The answer will come.

I dont think its a bad thing, you want to be at your sisters wedding which anyone could understand. IF your husband has no problem with it then by all means go and have a GREAT time. Maybe have a back up plan, a family or friend that could help if he needs a wee bit of a break

I am assuming that you two have agreed that it would be best not to take the whole family to Jamaica. That being said I would say that it is more that OK to leave him with his children for a few day. Good Lord what if something seriously happened to you? A father should know how to take care of his children. Enjoy, your sister's wedding!

There is nothing wrong for u to leave your kids with your husband for few days. My sister leave her kids with her husband when she gone for company holiday trip and everything was OK. Dont worry about your husband, he will be more careful when you are not around, So have fun!!!! Give them a call the moment you reach Jamaica, and call them at least once a day.

You are not being irresponsible. You had to learn Patience with your children and its time their father did too. Go. Tell your sister I said congratulations. Just have all the grocery shopping done before you go. Most Dad's can't manage four kids in a grocery store. The little one will be missing.

Why don't you take the kids with you and if you can't, for your sister it maybe a once in a lifetime event. You can't miss your sister's wedding especially if you're in the wedding as a maid-of-honor or a brides maid. It's not wrong to leave them with your husband because it's not just the wife's job to care for the children, it's the husband's job as well.
