Just need to vent... LO just turned one yr old and have to attend a funeral.. As LO is still young, not to mention still breastfeeding and short waking time, I'm inclined to bring LO to attend a funeral but I have no choice. Now I even have to bring LO to attend the cremation... I don't feeI comfortable about this whole thing, yet there's nothing I can do. I was told that LO is too young to attend such event but was not told of why.. I do not want to know the reason behind it, yet part of me is worried about bad things happening aft. Bad things happening to me is fine but I just don't Wan anything to happen to LO. The Husband family is unreasonable and the Husband is not helping either. Just cos he do not want to be told off by the family, he wants to bring LO thr this.. I feel so useless not being able to protect my own child.

I totally understand how you felt. My inlaws insisted for me to go too. I rejected. I was respectful enough that I went during the wake. I told the decesead via praying that I won't be there during cremation as baby is still too young. hope you understand and forgive. I didn't go to the cremation. Did have a huge arguenent w my inlaws and husband. after all I'm the one looking after my little one. not them

My family will tell me off if I bring my LO to any funerals... if you're worried, like Jorelle mentioned, go to a temple and ask for an amulet and flower water. Bring extra change of clothes and change out before you go home. Once you get home faster go and wash up with the flower water.

yes get flower water to wash. OR what my another inlaw do is after funeral. He will go to temple and pray before he goes home. regardless how late it is

you can just be firm as say LO is unwell? I know how it feels when sometimes inlaws are being unreasonable and demanding. OR you can go to temple and ask for a amulet to protect your LO?
