[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a little thrown off that OP wants his wife to take unpaid leave and schlepp a baby across the continent so she can sit in a house and listen to in-laws — all in order that OP won’t miss their baby.  What about DW?!  You don’t care whether she is actually there or not?  You don’t care if this trip would be fun for her or not?[/quote]

Of course the trip would be fun for her. But it might not be worth it to get there and back.

"listen to in-laws"...vs have a blast with all my cool cousins/aunts/uncles. I feel bad for you people. I like hanging out with all of my wife's family and she likes hanging out with all of mine.[/quote]

yeah, i am sure your family was great for your wife before kids. And now her priorities have lined up with having a child (ie. THEY and YOU come first), however you continue to want to party it up with extended family at CHRISTMAS of all times. Who throws a reunion at Christmas. That is very selfish to all inlaws involved. 
Let me guess, this will turn into some annual reunion because everyone loved it and your wife will be stuck going there for all eternity because you can't say "No" to your mom and dad.

You come off as very defensive, arguing one thing then another and never once state you will miss your wife. Infact you only discuss your wife in terms of being resentful towards her and how it is her own fault she had a baby and has no PTO to use. 
Seriously dude. Get a clue. [/quote]
