[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. Okay this will probably be my final post. I cannot give every single detail about everything that has happened. The very strong reactions indicate I have not accurately portrayed the situation. [b]The few people I have discussed this situation with IRL can see the merit to my point of view[/b] so I will just leave it at that. I am not going to pressure my wife to attend the wedding. She can stay home wth the kids. You guys have helped me to realize that it would be a tremendous amount of work having Munoz toddler there. He is extremely active and always wants to be running around on his feet. I can only imagine how much more adventurous he will become in another 7 months.

I love my wife and I want to support her. I work hard so that she can stay home and raise our children. I have worries that if I just give in and agree with her about my parents being jerks, then she will demand we cut them off, at least from our children. That is not an acceptable option for me so I find myself reluctant to agree with her. [/quote]

If you asked me IRL I would say I see your point but I'd still say you shouldn't fly with a 6w newborn.

Instead of creating an adversarial relationship with your wife, where you ahve to entrench or she might cut off your family, you need to take a collaborative approach. "I know my mom hurt your feelings, and you didn't over-react to her hurtful words, but it's so important to me to have a happy relationship with them, and that they have a relationship with my children. Let's work together to make sure we maintain a relationship with them that you can live with." [/quote]
