[quote=Anonymous]FIL gave DH a gift of 3 sports game tickets for Christmas.  Game is this weekend. I usually don't go to sports games and we have 2 kids, DS8 and DD5.  DD is too young to go. The game is over 2 hours away and is at 8 pm and will last a couple hours at least. They would have to leave here at dinner time, and DS would fall asleep at his regular bedtime an hour after getting there or stay up past his bedtime, then have to sleep in the car and they wouldn't get back until midnight, and DS has school the next day. DH has a sleep disorder and has been extra tired from work this week so I am worried about him driving back afterwards. He wants to take DS to the game but I am opposed to it and think FIL crossed a boundary by giving this as a gift.  What would you say or do? I told DH I only agreed to far away games with DS if they are during the daytime and that I think FIL crossed a line. He said he'd think about it.   Knowing him, he will probably want to take DS anyway to please FIL. Am I wrong to think this is a lousy gift because of FIL's poor judgement, it's a bad idea for DS, and it puts me in an awkward position and creates conflict between me and DH?[/quote]
