[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My inlaws like to have the appearance that they are very well off (which they aren't). It's my MIL's 60th birthday this fall, and they want us to join them (with my SIL, her husband, their 2 kids, and then 2 cousins with 2 more kids) at a golf course near Pittsburgh (where our family lives) for a day of outdoor "fun" (ropes courses, zip lines, swimming, etc). All the "festivities" will cost each person around $200. I just had our first child 3 weeks ago, and she will be 4 months when this happens. FIL suggested we just leave DD with the onsite daycare for the day... is he crazy?

My husband hates heights, so he's not going to do anything in the trees. I'm breast feeding so I'll be mostly attached to DD (which is fine by me, I don't particularly like my inlaws, they are very selfish individuals), so I won't be doing most of the activities. The other thing is my husband's cousins don't have this kind of money (neither does my SIL, but they have the same mentality of "pretend we have millions of dollars" so they will just add this to the debt).

Seriously, we could all toss in $100 pp and send my MIL on a cruise... Not to mention we all are responsible for our own hotel rooms and the cheapest one is $435/night (2 night min). This is going to be a $1,000 weekend for us, and I can think of several dozen things I'd rather spend $1,000 on (daycare, diapers, jogging stroller...).

Would it be rude for us to go, but just for the day and sit out of essentially all activities? We obviously have the youngest child, the next oldest is 3, so she can participate to some extent.[/quote]

You sound like such a bitch.

Of course you don't leave an infant in the day care, you stay with your baby.  If your DH doesn't like heights, he's an adult and say he's not going to do the zip line.

SUCK IT UP.  Your dislike of them is palpable, OP.[/quote]

So you realize you're responding to a thread that is over 3 years old, yes?  :roll: [/quote]
