[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here- we did have plans on Saturday night for friends to bring dinner and meet the baby. I will have to cancel them.

Op, why cancel? You can't socialize with your friends and with your MIL and SIL? I don't really see what the issue is. You're just trying to make life difficult and create obstacles and problems where there are none.  [/quote]

NP but I would think it's weird if I went to my friend's house to bring food and had to feed extra people. I probably wouldn't have made enough. And yes, I enjoy my friend's company by themselves not with an older generation present.[/quote]

It would be super weird! If I was bringing dinner to help out the new parents (which my friend group also does!) it would be very very awkward to show up and see that the friend's able-bodied MIL and SIL were there, but somehow incapable of helping.

Yes, I would feel sorry for my friend for having crappy family members, but it would also be super awkward. Especially, if I had to watch the new parents waiting on them, and hearing them say rude things. [/quote]
It would be weird to have family around when you visit your friends?  How old are you? Do your mom and dad have to close the door to your room when they bring you and your friends snacks?[/quote]
