    i dunno... id not want kids there it would be my worst nightmare... is he the kind of kid to act up,or could you put him in bed with a dvd? i guess it would depend on how close i was to the cousin, and id be saying in no uncertain terms he cant be involved in any of the day. that might sound harsh, but i just wouldnt want a kid underfoot while having a party, are there no dads/uncles/male cousins of yours that could have him?

    I wouldn't.
    But like Velcro said. If he is a pretty low maintenance then I wouldn't mind so much. Butxx If your cuz really wanted to come shed find a sitter.

    Velcro, his mum and dad have just split up not sure why his dad can't have him, I really don't want kids there and if I say yes to her my other cousin might take it upon herself to bring her children , :-(

    It's an adult only event, and it's very cheeky of her to ask. I'd say no. if I knew someone who could watch the child I'd offer suggestions but nothing more than that.

    Personally I'd explain that I don't think it's the place for a child. If there's somewhere he can sleep, where he will settle then I suppose that could make it easier. X

    Nooooo! I'd explain that you're not comfortable with the idea of a child being there xxx

    I'd say no too, my eldest daughter is 7 and even she can be a handful sometimes! A hen do is an adult only event in my eyes x
