brothers wedding dilema

Tell her you've booked for a week and but really you should book for 5 days...
When you return home earlier than planned because you missed them too much you will be a hero !

We did warn my brother we were trying for a baby, he announced his wedding last december, and couple of weeks later we found out we were pregnant.

My wife isn't really keen on my family, she keeps referring to "they knew we were trying for a baby". Now if the wedding was early next year etc she wouldn't have a problem and we all could go.

Well there you go. The wedding was planned before you knew you were expecting.

Your wife doesn't like your family.

Grow some and go to your brother's wedding.
 
your brother was your brother long before your wife was your wife. I'd say you should go, but of course limit it to the minimum time you need to be there.
 
Tbh your not gonna be getting any sex anyway as she has recently giving birth, so nothing to lose.
 
I would definitely go whether I was best man or not. One of the biggest days in your brothers life and I would not want to miss out on that.

That mumsnet is something else, endless posts of YABU YABU YABU YABU YABU!
 
You mention the mother in law being unimpressed in such a way that it seems they live within a reasonable distance, so your wife does indeed have backup within notice.

If that is indeed the case, then go to your brother's wedding and be his best man. Don't be so bloody whipped.

If it was a case that she was completely alone, without any possible assistance, with a newborn then it would be a different story, but otherwise? Screw that, man. Don't let yourself be walked over. It's an important day for your family. Keep down the road of letting them control you and it's a murky future.
 
A friend of mine was an usher at my wedding when his son was born just two days before. I wouldn't have taken my bat home if he didn't come, but I do think your wife is being unreasonable, particularly as this is your brother. Has she always been difficult or is it new baby related?
 
Shocked by the Mumsnet replies, can't believe I actually agree with the majority :eek:.

If this was normal behaviour from your wife I'd have split up with her a long time ago :/.
