Our younger kids are a little young to do well in a nice restaurant, so my FIL asked (through my DH), if I would stay home with them while the rest of the family went out. I agreed, but am feeling so sad about this. I lost both my parents in the past few years and am still feeling pretty unmoored, so I know this is definitely contributing. I was also the one who suggested we stay a little longer so that we could be here for the birthday, so that's definitely contributing, too.
I need to just get over this, right? My ILs are lovely people who help us a ton with the kids. I know I just need to suck it up and deal. I'm thinking I might take the younger kids out on my own for a fun activity. Any other ideas?
Thanks!
Won't read thru the replies...but jic it hasn't been said...consider this a gift to your FIL...one I am sure, based on what you wrote, that he will appreciate.
