Dear Queenie,
My fiancée wants to bring her children along on our honeymoon because she doesn’t trust their father to take care of them for more than a day at a time.
I just don’t like the idea of having kids along on what should be our private time.
Queenie, what do you think?—Stepfather-to-be
Dear Stepfather-to-be,
I agree with you – children do not belong on a honeymoon.
Is it not possible for you to make other arrangements for the children than staying the whole time with their father? Maybe hire a sitter or have grandparents or another relative(s) take them for part of the time, or at least look in on them frequently to make sure they are okay?
