[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to go against the grain here and say an invitation to a party is not a summons. I would probably decline such an invitation. Husband can go and take gift. Why make yourselves miserable?[/quote]

The only one who sounds miserable is OP. Nowhere in her post did she say this would throw her kid off balance for days on end. Op just has an extremely rigid plan with her kid and seems to freak out if she has to stray from it.  They can go for dinner and leave around 730. I guarantee OPs kid will be fine if bedtime is 830 and not 8.[/quote]

I would decline the party because neither my child nor I would enjoy it. I don't see the issue with that and think OP's DH is the one being needlessly rigid and stubborn.[/quote]

Really?  Your 3 year old wouldn't enjoy running around a play place an hour before their bedtime routine even starts? [/quote]

Not if he is hungry and tired and cranky. [/quote]
So feed him before the party.  This is really not rocket science.  [/quote]

And the tired and cranky part? I’m not the pp who said I would decline. [/quote]

How would OP know if the kid gets tired and cranky if she has never deviated from the schedule? And if she has deviated why not do it again and see how it goes? Nothing about this says kid can't even be in bed by 8 but there appears to be no flexibility in the routine which isn't really good for anyone.[/quote]

You don’t know if op has never deviated from schedule. [/quote]

OP says she doesn't want him wound up on cake at 8. How would she know that's a consequence? The sugar high is a myth anyway. She either has deviated before and knows what it's like or is talking out her ass trying to come up with any excuse to be difficult and stick it to the SIL. Which is it?[/quote]
