[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your husband and his family are being silly.  Ask him whether he really wants to teach your daughter to expect two parties every year.

That said, if it's really important to him, then his family can plan and pay for the second party.  No way you should have to do that.  If they don't plan it, it doesn't happen.  [/quote]

This. Unless there's some kind of impairment or hardship you haven't mentioned, then I think you need to either accept that they're not going to be part of the celebration (and that's on them for not being able to be in traffic for a bit) or DH needs to speak with his folks about them hosting their own celebration for your DD. No way should you have to throw an extra party.

And I'm speaking as someone whose folks come from upstate NY and whose DH's folks come from south FL every year for our DD's birthday. We are lucky that they are able to do this and are even more lucky that it's important enough to them to make the effort to come. (They ask if they can - no pressure from us.)[/quote]
