[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One set of grandparents always came for the kids b-days (even when they were teens), one didn't.  What's the big deal if you have cake in NYC and again at home?  Be happy her grandparents want to be so engaged in her life![/quote]

OP here. I'm not sure how this wouldn't be a big deal? Clean guest room and wash the sheets, make sure I have enough food for multiple meals a day, bake a cake, clean the house, cancel events we've already scheduled.

You sound like a martyr. Your DH can do the cleaning or hire a cleaning service, get a cake at the grocery store and make whatever food you would be making anyway or get some premade food/takeout. Tell ILs you already have plans and they can either tag along or if that’s not appropriate they can stay home and babysit DD. It’s really not that complicated. [/quote]

What’s not complicated is just doing nothing with the grandparents! It isn’t their birthday! OP doesn’t have t cater to them. Good grief, people really do need bear spray to get the boomers to back off! [/quote]
