The funeral is for my boyfriends uncle, who lived 5 hours away. It is also winter and snowing.

well that is something that you and your hubby need to decide. I would suggest that if the baby can be left, then do it. But if you are nursing, and don't pump, or don't have someone to leave him with, then take him along. If you make a few stops, then everything would be fine. I have traveled with my kids many times. He might just sleep alot of the way. just be sure to let him out to streach a few times. good luck.

Ok I have a 20 month old and there is no way I would bring him to a funeral unless you want to spend the whole time entertaining him and keeping him quiet. When my son was 5 months old I brought him to his Great Grandma's funeral and the whole time I was keeping him quiet, trying to keep him from getting bored, when I really wanted to do is support my family and husband. In fact I missed the entire funeral part because it was in a Catholic church and you could hear a pin drop so I was outside taking a walk with him. If you can I would get a babysitter and go with your honey so you can be there for him.

No not at all. I didn't take my son to several funerals that I attended while he was little. I just took him to his first one (he is almost 4) last spring for my grandfather, but it wasn't even a funeral, it was a memorial service after he was cremated. I don't think young kids need to be a part of that.

good Grief no. An infatuation like this does no longer earnings a fifteen-12 months old going all a thanks to Canada at the same time as there are purely as many possibilies good down the block. a fifteen-12 months old receives all kinds of infatuations and also you are able to't cater to all and dissimilar. next 12 months it truly is going to likely be something else that he purely HAS to have. you are able to't continually get what you want, or what you imagine you want. perhaps you locate out what you idea you needed replaced into no longer what you somewhat needed in any respect.

If you have someone reliable to leave him with, do that! Otherwise, depending on how close you are to your b/f's family (or how close he was to this uncle), stay home with your baby yourself. Taking him along will definitely take the "fun" out of funeral ...

It sounds like a bad idea. Unless you were close to him, I would say you stay home with baby and your bf go alone. That is a very long trip for such a little guy and he would be very restless and disruptive during the funeral and such.

i would say leave him at home. it wasn't a close family relative and he won't have any sort of fun and you won't be able to be supportive to your boyfriend if you are worried about your son the whole time. leave him with ur parents and give your boyfriend your undivided attention.

in my opinion i think its completely unnecessary. he isnt going to understand and probably wont be quiet during the service.. it will be much harder with him there... get a sitter.
