I don't know what to do about going to in laws funeral asked again?


My husband's Grandma is about to pass away. They live a little over 5 hours away. We have a 15 month old and I don't know what to do. I don't want to be disrespectful and not go to the funeral at all. My son barely made the 3 hour trip to go camping over the summer. Even if I were to go with my husband over to his family, should a 15 month old even go to a funeral? I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving him with anyone over there to watch him...everyone that I do know will be at the funeral. So do I just stay home or still go or what? I feel so bad that his grandma isn't going to be around much longer and I don't want to make things harder on anyone if I don't go.
We've been married for about a year and a half now. we've been together for over 4 1/2 years. My son is still nursing from me at night and in the morning and he's teething right now so he wakes up crying a few times a night. My husband is going to visit her this weekend without me. What do I do??

Stay home. You have a fussy baby to deal with right now and a 5 hour trip would not be ideal to travel with a baby right now.

It might be hard but i really think it you should go to the funeral. Is a babysitter an option? I think your husband might want you to be there with him. U should talk to him, see wut he thinks.

I attended a funeral once with a baby, and you can too. I arranged to sit very near the back door in case he started crying or got hungry.I slipped out and took care of him in the car. Funerals are family events and you need to be with your husband. The only problem might be the weather. If it is really cold or raining , you might prefer to be home, and it would be better for the baby too. But if weather is OK, then go. Everyone will be uplifted to see a sweet Innocent baby there.

I attended my husband's grandmother's funeral when my son was 6 months old. They had a room where I could sit with him and hear the service via intercom.
