[quote=Anonymous]I can imagine this happening in my family.  My mom gets super anxious and perseverates on things, then she drags my dad into it, as well as whoever will answer the phone.  So, if you are busy and don’t call her back for a few hours, you might find that something has completely blown up.  I mean, whether or not you want to do this, there is no reason that it should have spiraled into a huge family issue in one night.   And my mom wonders why none of our spouses can get along with her.

There is no urgency to figure out childcare plans right now.  You might feel very differently about going a month from now.  You might find another sitter through your daycare, and suddenly the logistics don’t se that bad. Your BIL might feel differently about it a month from now too.  What sounded like fun when he got the invitation might end up being too much time and money when he gets down to actually booking flights and car rental and Airbnb.

There was absolutely no reason for family drama last night, and definitely no reason that you should be cast as a villain.  I’m so sorry, OP.  [/quote]
