If one of your daughters was getting married, and your other daughter was pregnant and her due date was around the same time as the wedding and they lived in two different states, and so did you, would you want to be at the birth of your grandchild, or the wedding of your daughter. fyi: the daughter having the baby isnt going to be able to have the baby's father with her.
well for me i would rather be at the wedding since you cannot live that over again. Your other daughter and get pregnant again so their might be a chance you can be at one of the births.
Isn't your pregnant daughter going to her own sisters wedding? The wedding will sure be memorable.
thats so sad!!! im sorry! but you only have one wedding many more children will come. you can see the baby someother time
damn thats hard!
ummm.......wedding lol..cuz the due date might be a little later
Since i have two daughters, both grown, here's my answer. Attend the marriage of the one daughter, hopefully it will be a one man one woman relationship down through the years. Then hop a plane and go to the birth or go to see the new grandchild. Simple. No ones feelings are hurt, you've attended the first marriage of your daughter, then gone to witness the birth, or see the new born grand-daughter.
why dont you get the pregnant daughter to come to a hospital around where the marriage is at and maybe she will be in labor that day and you can just stop by the marriage and see them get marrried and go onto the hospital
You better talk to the daughters and explain to them why you're in a pickle. hopefully they will be able to decide for you. If one of them is not willing to say the other is more important skip both events because they are too selfish.
the wedding. you can't DO anything regarding a birth, unless your a doctor.
wedding because she could always video tape having the baby, a wedding will probaly not happen again
I'd definitely go to the daughter having the child. This is a very serious situation for her and her health and well being are involved, as well as the one of a newborn. If your daughter thats getting married loves you and her sister she should understand that you should be with her this time, she needs you especially because the father of the baby is not going to be there. You can always go some days later to celebrate the wedding of your other daughter.
Oh gosh. That's tough!!
I think i would go to the wedding, because once it's over; it's over. You can go straight to the baby afterward, but if you miss the wedding, you've missed the most important day of your daughter's life and there's no going back. The baby will be here for years, and I'm sure she can find someone else (a best friend) that will go with her.
Do both of the girls know this situation? How far apart is the Due-Date and the wedding date? If they are two weeks apart, you can do both. Perhaps the daughter getting married can help with the travel$$ I also have 2 daughters. I would Myself would be with my daughter in the hospital, as this can be a VERY serious situation and you truly do need someone who cares about you WITH YOU! Giving Birth is very important as well as a wedding. You can be with your daughters anytime but I think I would choose my daughter giving birth as there COULD BE SERIOUS COMPLICATION'S INVOLVED! But, let us stay positive and hope ALL GOES well with the BIRTH! A happy healthy Mom and Baby! We already know that the one getting married is Happy and Healthy! You are an Excellent Mom and the girls love you and will understand either way!
iCiKnow~
the baby...
people can always get remarried.
but a baby is only born once.
How does the daughter having the baby feel about the situation? Would she consider coming to live with you for the birth so that you could also be close to her before and after the event? This may allow her to still attend her sister's wedding, as well as, have more family support. The reason I suggest living with you is because the daughter having the baby may be familiar with doctors in your area and she would need more family support with the father away. I also know that it is hard to change the date for the church and reception area at the last minute. Talk to each daughter and follow your heart. Could there also be an aunt available for back up and/or share responsibility in helping to care for daughter having the baby since the father will be away?
this is a really hard question!
i would pick the wedding!
because:
1. its on a certain date (unless it gets changed, which i doubt would happen)
and
2. the baby could be either late or early
Hmmm sounds like a sticky situation. I would say have a talk with both of them and see how they feel. Is your expecting daughter have anyone else to be in the hospital with her? If I had to choose I would go see the birth of my grandchild. Your other daughter should understand. You can only be born once!!!!!
Definitly go to the wedding
idk thats really hard!!!
i would probably go with the 1 having the baby
Your pregnant daughter does have one other option to not disrupt your daughters wedding plans and you desire to see her get married (and you should see her get married) she can inquire about a c-section. Please don't get angry that was not my intent.
Or, you can have an open ticket to fly where your daughter will be giving birth then if you have to leave in a hurry you will not have to worry about a flight.
Your daughter that is getting married will truly and for the end of time will always know you have missed her wedding because you will not be in her wedding pictures.
As for the daughter that is having the baby there are so many variables on how that can play out because naturally born babies don't come on time ever. I think your pregnant daughter will understand, she is going to be a mother and is learning what mother's sacrifice for their children.
If you have to you can split the day either leave early or late but your new grandbaby will decide for you. But, have a plan and relieve the stress.
Shalom
owi! thats tough! hmmmm probably go to the wedding.... i dont know...... ya. go to the wedding! :D
I think I would be with the pregnant daughter. First, tell you daughter that is getting married the problem tell her that you love them both the same but your other daughter won't have anyone she loves with her to see the birth of her first born (or whatever) but then tell her that her dad will stay and tell her that you would love to here all about it after you get back from the hospital. Tell her that you love her very very very very very very much and that you wish her the best wishes for her wedding and to take lots and lots of pics
She won't change the date of her wedding when her sister is about to deliver a baby? Strange...
Who will be there for the birth of the baby? If there are any health issues or she will have nobody there then absolutely go to the birth of your grandchild.
If she will have somebody supporting her and there are no health concerns then go to the wedding and catch a red eye to your other daughter.
Personally I'd try and arrange a 3 way conference call and talk it through with both daughters together so they can feel how torn you are. Maybe dates can be changed?
Wedding, because you never know if she will actually deliver that day. Generally not many women want their family members there when they are giving birth but if your daughter doesnt mind it cant hurt. Still you should go to the wedding.
Plus if you miss a wedding your daughter will hate you more then the one giving birth. I dont think your daughter even invited you to the hospital while shes giving birth did she?
The other daughter should change her wedding date. Doesn't she want her sister there? BUT if you must choose you need to be with your daughter having the baby, she needs support, your other daughter will have everyone she needs there, she sounds a little selfish to me, sorry just my opinion.
OH MY GOD.
i think you should be there for the one getting married.
it wouldn't be fair to the one getting married
besides, your other daughter, the one giving birth, will be fine.
:]
and, you already went to her wedding
first of all why wont the father be there for the birth??
but anyway id be there for the wedding because youve already gone to your other daughters wedding..
and make up to my other daughter by helping her take care of her newborn so she can get some sleep when she needed it
Baby!
I'm sorry haha
I would go to the one thats pregnant, she seems to need more help than the other. Hope the one who is getting married understands.
Tough choice,
Maybe you can go to the wedding (if you have time)
but not the After party
after the wedding go to your other daughter
having the baby
( :
I would pick which ever one you want to go to and video tape the other.
In my opinion, pushing a human being out of your uterus is more traumatizing and esp. without the baby's father there for support..,.
Your other daughter's wedding.. she'll be surrounded by alot of people and she'll have alot of "support" but your daughter is going to be a mother and she needs her own mother's support.
