[quote=Anonymous]I have a question. What do you do on your birthday? Do you have requests for things you'd like to do? Dinner out? a weekend away? Well it is you IL's choice that they would like to do this. And yes I have miserable relationship with my MIL and have soldiered through a lot things I don't want to do because I felt it was important for the family as a whole and I know if the shoe was on the other foot I would be hurt if people didn't want to participate in something that was special to me. With that said I would go but make it in a manner that works for you. If you can't afford the trip - can you find another place? Share with other relatives to bring down the cost. Make a day trip out of it? Consider yourself very lucky in that you have the BEST excuse for getting out of things while you are there - breastfeeding and a 4 month old will need mom - and yes while it IS possible to leave the baby in daycare you don't (or can't pump for your FIL if he insists). You have to spend time with your child which means you get away from the family (oh how I milked - pun intended- breastfeeding and naps as my escape plan from the inlaws.) I think you will need to sacrifice something (money or time) to make this trip but ensure you establish what you will do - volunteer you won't zip line, or get a babysitter but would love to have a family dinner together one night.[/quote]
