You got it!

My FIL is planning all this, I'm pretty sure my MIL has no idea what's going on. My husband also mentioned about dinner, I'm sure we'll be going to their fine dining restaurant, and FIL will expect DH to split the check... They're just idiots.

DH and I decided to go, but we won't be participating in many of the activities (due to DD), which is just fine by us. We'll bring the camera and get some nice shots of of our new little family while they are climbing the trees. We in no way want to blow this off, but it would've been nice had my FIL picked something that all family members could actively participate. DH just told me FIL will be paying for everyone's hotel rooms (I'll believe it once we're there and it happens), so that's one less thing!

[quote]You actually sound selfish. Maybe your FIL suggested that the baby stay in the nursery so that you could have some fun too. (How dare he?!) Just go with it. Wouldn't you want your kids to be there for you on such an important occassion?[/quote]

This is hardly an "important" occasion, as my MIL hates being the center of attention and isn't thrilled she's aging (she doesn't like it when people make a big deal out of her birthdays). This is all the doings of my FIL to put on a "show" that he and his wife are great (they cycle through close to divorcing, reconciling, and don't speak 75% of the time, sleep in different rooms, DH has to tell them both the same things since they don't talk to each other...). It's a crazy dynamic.

Yes, I'm selfish to want to spend time with my child... such a crazy concept I'm sure! I would much rather carry her around than climb through the trees (keeping in mind that she will just be starting daycare 2 weeks prior and our weekends with her will become very sacred![/quote]
