Upcoming child free wedding

I have a wedding I’m going to in November. I am all for child free weddings as I know people drink at weddings and I am excited but I’ve never been away from my son before. I’m a sahm of a 7 month old baby. I’m worried about how he’ll react and that I’ll be anxious and worried the whole time and ruin the night for myself. My teenage sister is supposed to baby sit but she didn’t pay much attention when I was talking about her. Also she smokes weed and while I don’t use it I don’t really care when other do, but the issue is I don’t want her to use it when she babysits but each time I visit my grandma says she gets irritable when she doesn’t smoke. I don’t want her to get frustrated with my son but I don’t want her inhibited either. I’m also worried she would use the ‘cry it out’ method like my older sister did with her kids as she would babysit for her too. Out of my whole family she’s the most likely as my dad has seizures and can’t be alone with a baby. My fiancés side believe in whooping and we don’t, and my oldest sister is going to the wedding as well so my. I really don’t know what to do or how to ease my anxiety

I would personally not go to the wedding.

^yep! Baby has to be well taken care of with a trusted person if not then i wouldnt go . Its not worth it.

I just went to a kid free wedding and I am a sahm of an 8 month old I have not been away from before either. I went to the wedding alone because it was my family and my husband stayed in a nearby location with our daughter and I was only at the wedding for all the necessary things. The ceremony and then the reception until the dancing. I stayed to dance a few songs and left by 8:30. My daughter was fine up until the last hour and she really missed me and hated the change of routine because I wasn't there, but I wouldn't have left her with anyone else, because no one else is around her that much. You should ultimately do what you think is best for your baby. The wedding is not as important as your baby is, if you are having trust issues with a babysitter

you could interview babysitters who have experience with kids and have a few practice runs with you home before the wedding. i was really nervous abt leaving my little one but it helped my sanity tremendously and i would highly recommend getting u a mommy break:)

also if it’s any consolation i’ve left my baby over night three times and he didn’t cry at all the entire time. the look on his face when we pick him up is so worth it and he’s always tuckered out the next day. you got this mama enjoy your time celebrating the bride and groom and don’t feel guilty to checking in on the babysitter a million times

Do you have cameras? Where would you sister babysit the baby? Maybe tell her to send you updates and pictures every 10 minutes. And if she does smoke let it be before and for her not to smoke too much. Personally I smoke I see no big deal about it. Never smoked in front of my baby before. Have you seen how your sister acts with your baby before? Like how she cares for him?
