In 6 weeks, I'm expecting my first baby. One of my good friends will be getting married shortly after that. Her sister is planning the Bachelorette weekend... which will include the bride, her sister (mentioned above), me and my sister. The Bachelorette weekend is scheduled for a month after my due date. The sister of the bride is keeping the location within 1 1/2 hours away so I would attend. The sister of the bride expected me to stay away from my newborn baby (which I'll be breast feeding) for 2 nights and 3 days. When I told her that I wasn't able to do that (that I would go spend 1 whole day with them), she said that she talked it over with my sister and had another plan. They agreed that my husband could come along and watch the baby just so long as he didn't hang out with us. They were doing this as a favor for me, so I could be close to the baby for feeding (and in case of an emergency). Is it just me, or is this ridiculous?
To make matters worse, I'm not even in this wedding. The bride, her sister, and my sister were all in my wedding. The bride has not asked us (my sister and I) to be in the wedding because she is not having any bridesmaids. The only reason she is doing this is so she can keep one of her cousins (whom she doesn't like) out of the wedding.
Please help, what do I do?

Just when you think you've heard it all....
I think you already know what's most important to you. But - since you ask I think you should tell them what you WILL and CAN do and do not leave options. Explain nicely if they are going to plan something for one evening that you're on board but that if they are planning a weekend you simply cannot make it and that you are very sorry. If you had already agreed to do the weekend thing then again, tell them that you're very sorry, but you've reconsidered and hope they have a wonderful time.

I completely agree with TWQ. Tell them what you WILL and CAN do and don't feel bad about it.
