[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m curious what others think of this. I need unbiased opinions, please!

DS has a big sports-related competition coming up. Last year, we invited all the grandparents, and did dinner afterwards. This year, it falls the Thursday before my parents are leaving for a nearly two-month vacation (they leave on the following Monday).

We had planned to spend a weekend day visiting them that week, to wish them farewell. However, we (our nuclear family) were invited out of town for something that’s important to DH, and he wishes we all attend, so we will be leaving Friday as soon as the kids get out of school, and won’t be back until late Sunday. So, Thursday will be my last opportunity to visit with my parents before they leave, and I’d like to just invite my parents only, so we all get some good one-on-one time with them at dinner after the competition, before they leave. Since I’m “taking one for the team” and going away for DH’s thing, I thought he could do the same and let us have this time without the interference of his parents.

[b]But it DOES sound horrible and selfish, right?[/b] I need someone to tell me if it is before I present it to DH! Is it horrible to ask that, because our weekend will be spent doing X for YOU, can we please just invite only my parents so we can have some quality time with them before they leave? (Also, ILs haven’t yet been invited to the competition, FWIW.)[/quote]

Yes, it sounds horrible and selfish, and also bizarre.  [/quote]
