All of these options suck

We are going to Voodoo in two weeks. I am way excited.

3 days of music in a park. We go every year. Last year I only went one day because morning sickness was killing me.

So this year I would like to go all three days. But these are my options:

1. Bring Dagger all three days.

2. Get a babysitter for 1 or 2 days (i think 2 is better). Then I would have to bring my pump into the festival or go out to my car to pump. I emailed to see if they even have a place inside to pump.

3. Go one or two days with Dagger and send mr. Winged alone the other day(s).

I don't care for any of those options.

 

Re: All of these options suck

  • Option 3.5 Go one day with Dagger, send Mr. Winged alone the other days, and visit Buddha while he's there

  • You should be able to pump in the first aid tent, I would think. Parenting a breastfeeding baby has crappy moments.

  • Kids ruin everything.  And I'm super jealous that you're going to Voodoo!  I heard something about it on the radio the other day and I thought of you

    You forgot a 4th option, which is to leave Dagger with your crazy MIL for the 3 days.  You'll be baby free and she can't complain about you keeping him from her anymore.  See, doesn't that sound like a great option? ;)  

    I hope there are no heavy objects near you that could be thrown at my head right now

  • heavy objects like my computer?

    Buddha, will you come down?

    And kristen, I assume they will. That is what I did at the last festival we went to. But this is in the middle of a park with no real structures and when I went to the med tent last year it was just an open air facility. I assume and hope they have a more private facility as well.

  • Yea, I don't know what's worse. Rolling the dice with a baby that could be 100% content the whole time or could have a tough day, or lugging a pump and milk around.

    Also, I hope you'll get Dagger those headphones PDX posted the other day.

  • Don't take a baby to a concert. That's second only to taking a baby to a bar.

  • I can probably come on Saturday, but we have plans on Sunday. I'll check with Zane.

  • Option 4.  Drop Dagger off in Baton Rouge to spend the weekend with me!

  • Ok Saturday may work. Let me figure it out. And yes we are getting the headphone things. Fallin, these types of festivals have tons of kids. They are in parks, they have kids areas, etc. I would say the one in Austin is more kid friendly though, but voodoo is too.
  • I'm stealing him at least one of those days...
