[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's your husband's family. Go with the flow. It's a kid sport, not the NBA.[/quote]

I agree with you completely up to the point that the party was cancelled and we then made the commitment for our son to now attend the game.  It's the back and forth that I have the problem with.  There was no question that our son would miss the game before the cancellation was made.  Given that the team is small and we're less than a week out from the game, it does have an impact on the team and the coach.  Since we can go to both the game and the party, I just believe we should honor the commitment we made after the party was cancelled.[/quote]

I agree with your thinking. You made the best decision at each stage of this business. Now, it comes down to either 1. disappointing the team and backing out of a commitment, or 2. [b]allowing MIL to experience the natural consequence of her back-and-forth[/b]. Caprice much?

My vote? He plays.

That you all can ALSO attend the party is a bonus.

Yes, MIL would experience those consequences.  So would FIL. So would DH.  So would extended family (cousins?).  You say it comes down to disappointing the team or making the MIL feel some sort of karma.  Isn't it really about disappointing the team and disappointing the extended family as a whole?[/quote]
