[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so you can drive, but they can't?  [/quote]

Apparently not since we're the only ones in Montgomery County. [b]My MIL and SIL live in PG and always attend so I really don't see why the rest of them can't.[/b][/quote]

Solution: DH very sweetly asks his mom and sister to offer rides to your ONE party, to those other relatives who get the vapors at the idea of driving all the way to, gasp, [i]another suburb[/i]. Done!

If those relatives turn them down, well, they had their chance. So sorry they couldn't make it. Maybe next time.

....As someone else posted, if you let DH and MIL do a second party, you're going to find it hard to nip that idea next year and then the year after and then.... Don't set the precedent. Point that out to DH. You also would be setting an expectation in your daughter's mind, especially if she's young,  that two parties are normal and fine. Does he really want to give that message? Or is he about pleasing his mom on this one?

Just look forward to the time when your child is old enough that she'll ask you to skip a family party and just allow her to have a party or outing with a few of her friends. [/quote]
