Passports expire in 5 years for kids unless they’re 16 when they apply. How long is a non drivers ID good for?

My kids have had passports since they were babies. Every 5 years we renew. And if the child is taken out of the country usually they require a notarized letter from the other parent stating that they have their permission. My husband was working overseas and knew I wanted to take the kids to Canada for a day trip which he was totally fine with. I was told I needed a letter even though they have passports because their dad wasn’t physically with us.

That happened at a wedding I attended. But it was a catered dinner. Our table was skipped on dinner. We saw the cake being served up and realized they completely skipped our table for dinner. When we flagged the waiter down they apologized and said they ran out of food but could make us some sandwiches. We asked how they run out of food when all the seats had name tags on them so you literally knew how many plates you needed to make? The bride and groom (who was our coworker) came over to say hi and were asking us how dinner was and were horrified when they found out we never got food. They spent $40k on this wedding. 🤷‍♀️
