[quote=Anonymous]Not to sound harsh, but get over yourself.  Unless they are unbearable, why not be a sport and entertain them for a weekend so they can be part of your child's special event?  Not everything in life has to be on your terms. While it's unfortunate that they don't call on a regular basis (your definition of how they should be interacting with you), how is it bad that they want to be present for important events in your child's life?  I'm sorry, but this just sounds like inflexible prima donna behavior to me.  Yes, major events are stressful. And house guests add a layer of stress but these are your child's grandparents who appear to be making an effort. Why not make room n your home and your heart to host them...maybe even knock yourself out to make them feel welcome and appreciated.  You'd be surprised how rewarding it can be to make someone else happy.  Who knows how long you'll have them in your child's life.

I know I'll get flamed for this advice, but unless they are racist, chain smoking, gun wielding terrorists, would it really be so awful to include them?

Just sayin'... [/quote]
