[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe the responses.  OP - do what works for your family.  [/quote]

You mean what works for OP and ignore the other members of the family?[/quote]

I mean what works for her immediate family - her, her husband, and their child.[/quote]

Don't you think that is a little small minded and short sighted though? For grandparents, these types of wounds last and it will impact the relationship.  This is an expression of kindness to the Gramps.  OP and her Dh better tread carefully or she will be here in a couple years telling us how the grandparents do not seem to want to be involved.

It is a positive that the grandparents love the baby and want to "show her off."  Neither OP or her DH KNOW whether DD will make it through the service.  And if she doesn't....so what?  We always took our kids to Christmas Eve service and I thought it was a hoot to see all the kids there.  I get that new parents are control freaks, but you have to let the Gramps have their moment also.

Really?  Because it sounds really selfish of the grandparents to me.[/quote]
