Tell me if we are reasonable or mean...
We were invited to a bris tomorrow (actually dh got the invite a few days ago and didn't mention it to me). We were invited by the great-grandmother who is dh's former neighbor. We will most likely not know anyone there. It is on the other side of town and I'd be shocked if it wasn't separate seating. It is at 9am, so it will kill most of our morning. She wants us to bring our ds along too (he is normally in gan at 9am)...
It is reasonable that we don't want to go?
If it had been close by, okay...
if it is mixed seating....maybe...
but all these factors together, it just seems ludicrous. I don't know these people. We shouldn't have to mess up our whole day because of it....
In the unlikely event that the mom is an imamother, speak up now....because you'd give me a reason to go!

It's an opportunity to have a seudas mitzva.I think its sad that you phrase it as "messing up" your day.
Go if you want, or not. But please view it as the seudas mitzva that it is, not an inane social obligation.

was this an actual invitation? The reason we don't "invite" to a bris, but only "inform" about the time and place, is because you must go if you are invited.

I understand, if you dont know the person, why bother. OTOH it is a mitzvah. But speak to DH about this one is he anxious to go? if he doesnt want to, you shoudlnt either
and bringing your son-I agree is a little much. Drop him off at gan. more important to not mess up his schedule, then to bring him to the bris of someone you dont know so the peoples great grandmother can see your son...
