My brother is getting married at a couples resort in St. Lucia in October and my son will be 16 months. Unfortunately, the only people I would be happy about leaving him with will also be at the wedding. They don't allow kids, so we are thinking about bringing him and staying in a different hotel from everyone else. Is it unreasonable of us to want him to come?

NO.....it is NOT unreasonable for you to want him to be with you! TOTALLY normal! Personally, when my kids were that age, if I was invited to a "no kids" event, you could probably not expect to see me show up. Obviously, being your brother's wedding, you want to go. I would say bring your son along and stay somewhere else. I assume he'll be welcome at the actual ceremony and reception? If not, who would watch him for you?

If females take longer to educate... i'm able to't imagine at the same time as i will initiate exhibiting if I really have a boy.. probable earlier I even understand i'm pregnant! i'm having a lady, and that i popped out promptly. At 10 weeks, i changed into carrying a touch bump. with information from 16 weeks, strangers were asking at the same time as i changed into due. i'm not over weight, or less than weight. i changed into about 100 and fifteen and 5'2 pre-being pregnant, yet I do have a short torso, that could want to describe the instant pop. :)

Absolutely not. You have every right to take your son. Though I need a vacation.... My two children are age 2 and 4 and I still have not left them to go on a vacation. (we also live far from our relatives who we trust) I would think that your brother would be understanding...or is it the hotel that doesn't want kids? If that is the case is perfectly reasonable to stay elsewhere. Good luck

Totally reasonable for you to want to bring your son... I would! If you know someone who lives in the area, try to get a reputable babysitter for during the wedding... although I would be hesitant to leave him with someone I don't know at 16 months. Better yet, see if there is another family in a similar situation- maybe you have a teenage cousin who would rather make a few bucks babysiting than go to the wedding?
I wouldn't leave my 16 month old overnight while I went on vacation.

yeah, thats a good idea to stay at a different hotel. the only problem u would have is who is going to babysit the baby while u attend the wedding.

not unreasonable however if u have not been seperated then maybe u need to consider a break even the best parents need a break and may not even realize it , shoot the baby may need a break from u also , we have 4 kids and they tell us we get on thier nerves our son was just able to talk when he wanted to stay at grammas and its not so bad if u get a sitter just call home accasionally u know talk to ur child tell him u love him , or take him with u but i would really get a sitter see how it goes . Good luck

Do your own thing...Don't worry about what anyone else thinks.
The hotel will provide babysitting during the wedding, and you'll have nothing to worry about.

My parents never took a seperate vacation from me and my older brother until I was 20! I don't plan to take a vacation seperate from my children either. I don't think there is anything wrong with wanting to take him with you.

It is definately not unreasonable to want to take your 16month old son with you. I think it is a great idea to stay at another hotel. Hope you have a great time......................

1) your child will have no other kids to play next to.
2) who is going to stay with your baby and who is going to the ceremony as the child wont be welcome at the ceremony or reception
If you're not happy leaving him with anyone else then it looks like you will have to either miss it or one of you miss out on the ceremony and celebrations by staying with the baby.
I personally wouldn't go, my child comes first
