[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I supposed to be inviting my out of state in laws to my kids birthday parties?  I've never considered that.  Why am I going to pay for 2 grandparents to come to SkyZoe from out of state.  I wouldn't even have time to chat with them I'd be busy making polite small talk with the parents who didn't drop off, and arranging cake and pizza etc and making sure no one has a broken femur on the trampoline. I'm not interested in hosting a kids birthday party AND hosting my in laws at the same time. [/quote]

We don’t focus on socializing with the in-laws during the actual party..that’s for the kids and chatting with other parents.

The in-laws stay with us for at least 3 days and we talk then. Plenty of time to catch up with them.[/quote]

I guess I wonder why on earth theyd even want to come.  They arent going to be spending time with my kids, unless they think theyre going to be able to drag them out of the trampoline and make them chat with them on the sidelines or something.  Theyre not going to be chatting with me or DH.  Theyre just going to be standing there and probably bored and over stimulated, for 2 hours.  Again- never even crossed my mind.  We usually invite them down the weekend before or the weekend after to say happy birthday and go out to dinner if they want.  [/quote]

So why do the local grandparents want to come?[/quote]
