[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again - For my birthday if I wanted to do something like this I wouldn't invite people only to say, "oh by the way to have a good time you'll probably spend around $500 (which is what my FIL just told DH on the phone)". That's ridiculous.

Yes FIL has currently agreed to pay for the room, but he's been known to promise one thing, and then the opposite happens. He also said he'd pay for dinner, but I know he's going to expect DH to cover half (dinner will include 8-9 adults and 4 children ages 3-15).

To give you some perspective into this crazy family they bought us an end table one time (they thought we'd like it, it was gawd awful) and when they brought it over MIL literally said "It cost $100, if you don't have the cash we'll take a check". We in NO way asked for this stupid table, or put in any sort of hint that we wanted or needed a table.

MIL also informed us when DD was hours old that she has FIL's "ugly" big toe, and was attempting to get DD to open her eyes by almost poking her in the eye... FIL was warned not to take DD out of the room by carrying her (hospital rules said she had to be in her bassinet) and of course he didn't listen and a nurse ran over. He then told us how awful the car ride home will be b/c DD will hate the car seat (she actually loves her car seat and the movement of the car).

Oh and MIL's gift at the baby shower was a solid wood "potty" chair that rocks... After we begged her to buy something off the registry (we had to spend another $400 to get misc things off the registry after the shower).

I'm not really surprised by this, but it's still frustrating. DH and I will maybe mini golf, but otherwise just walk around and hang out with DD. I have no inclination to spend $400 at the spa (I'd rather buy a CityMini stroller), and would prefer to spend the time as our little family, not passing DD off between the two of us so we can do things alone. That just doesn't sound like a good time to me.[/quote]
