[quote=Anonymous]Yeah -- I wouldn't go, even if it was my brother's kid. Frankly you can get out of it by saying you had a sniffle 2 weeks ago -- that'll freak her out enough that she'll be relieved that you're declining.

As for the chores -- um, vacuuming? Sounds like she had the baby a few days ago and isn't feel great. Ok fine. Does her home normally get vacuumed every day? In an adult household where no one is crawling, that's a chore that can easily be skipped for several weeks without anyone noticing.

You forgot the list of what they need and enjoy. I'm dying to know.

With family -- whatever, you can be obnoxious and they likely won't disown you. But I can't believe she's asking her friends to reserve time with her but then telling them their time may be pushed back -- so basically they should be waiting by their email for a precious 30 to 60 min with her and if they could whip up a meal in advance and run the vacuum while they were there that would be great!? Does she want to keep her friends or no!?[/quote]
