[quote=Anonymous]I flat out told my mom that if she wanted to be invited to nuclear family things (like school programs) that we needed more help. Quid pro quo. Parents can act like they're so put out to help out a few times, but then at the same time they don't realize at all how much more work it is to host them. I learned my lesson when I baptized my first child at 6 weeks. I invited grandparents and godparents, but then the hoards descended on me. I had dozens who wanted to stay with me. Instead of taking 6 extra people to a nice luncheon like I planned, I was hosting a meal for 40 at my house (I couldn't afford a lunch out for that many and the restaurant wanted you to rent the room).
