[quote=Anonymous]Very important.  More important than two birthday parties and a sister's routine visit.  I would easily cancel all of the activities that you listed if necessary.  Your child will not remember the first birthday.  I would move that to the weekend before or after to celebrate and celebrate with your parents.

When my parents had their 40th birthday, I threw a big party and invited 60 of their friends to come and celebrate.  We treated it like a wedding, arranged a hotel block for folks, and weekend activities.  When they had their 50th, they chose to take a major family cruise.  Their wish was to have all the children and grandchildren together.  All but one grandchild came.  Next week, they celebrate their 60th and they are having a big party including many of their friends and again, all children and all but one grandchild will be there.  We all respect these events for major achievements deserving of a lot of recognition and love.

Hopefully when your children are adults, they will respect you more than you respect your in-laws.  [/quote]
