[quote=Anonymous]My in-laws live a few hours a day and like to visit on or around the kids birthdays. I don't love having them on the kids' birthdays because it kind of ruins the day to have to cater to them instead of the birthday child (this year my teen was gracious and kind all day but later expressed that she wished they'd visited another day and we could have just had a family dinner). This year, my own parents will be in town from overseas for two weeks and my pre-teen's birthday falls in the middle of that and my in-laws are very upset that they can't visit on or within a few days of her b-day. Any recommendations on how to help smooth things over and maybe reset expectations for future years especially as the kids get older and want to do their own thing on their birthdays? [/quote]
