[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]" I didn’t feel great about showing up solo with two kids while my husband was absent." This is so odd to me. Clearly you live near these people and you've likely known them for at least 10 years since you have 2 kids in school. Also odd is not realizing Friday Jan 2 is not a school day![/quote] Honestly? They said, “Does Friday the 2nd at 5pm work?” and I just took it. Surely you aren’t thinking I deliberately did this anticipating ILs would invite us to dinner at 6pm on this exact day with only 24 hours notice, right? I didn’t think it was fair to show up alone. To me, to the kids, to everyone at the (not exactly kid-friendly) restaurant. ILs aren’t helpful. I just didn’t want to in that moment, without DH there to help carry conversation with his parents, or help manage the kids. [/quote] This is how kids learn manners and how kids learn to carry conversations with family.[/quote]
