[quote=Anonymous]I don't think you are being unreasonable at all. In fact, I think that your offer is really generous. I can see why MIL maybe doesn't want to have restaurant TG, if she was excited to cook it herself, but I think that there are compromises that could have been worked out that didn't involve anyone having to dig in.

Personally, I would not want to host that many people that soon after having a baby. I wouldn't mind going to their house, as long as it was very clear that my sole responsibility was for the newborn - not cooking, not cleaning, not older DD, not other people's kids, etc. - and that if I needed to step out, that was possible (private room, away from the bustle). The age of the child would bother me less than the worry that I would not be physically up to snuff at that point.

Either way, I think that your MIL flipping out is unreasonable, even if you'd suggested something that was totally crazy, and think it's great that your husband is dealing with her. So many times husbands do not do that (mine included!).[/quote]
