[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would go to the party, and visit the baby after. Skipping the party sends a clear message that the easy going child and their family is less important - this is a situation where you can easily do both. To not even try is not a neutral decision. It's SO easy to just always cave to the demanding one. In this case it seems manipulative if new mom would not welcome grandma unless she arrives at a specific time/date and ONLY then. [/quote] I get what you are saying, but I would disagree this is a situation where you can "easily do both." I think two special occasion events where you need to be "on" AND a six hour drive in one day sounds absolutely exhausting, and I'm close to the age of the daughters, not grandma. I'm not even sure it could work, if the birthday party is at say 1 PM, then she would get to the newborn's house/hospital quite late. [/quote]
