[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Forget it. Give them the benefit of the doubt, and a second chance. By your description they are great people, so they deserve a break.

Btw, some of your complaints are silly. Why would your mil need to call you, if she called your husband? Why should they arrange a move around YOUR child's birthday? They also have their other grandkids birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and who knows what else to work around.

It bothers me when my flaky FIL misses things. I'm not saying you don't have a right to be irritated. But you will cause a lifelong family rift if you can't get over this.[/quote]

This. I'd be upset, too, OP, but let it go. The first birthday is really a celebration for the parents. They can come to the 2nd Birthday, which your child will enjoy and participate more in.

Why won't your families be together again? [/quote]

Because her DD is only 1 once? Because OP will never invite her inconsiderate ILS anywhere ever again?[/quote]

If it is really meaningful for the OP to have her entire family together on her daughter's birthday, she has a lifetime of birthdays to plan. Yes, none of them are the FIRST birthday, but it's not like there aren't any significant birthdays left after you turn 1.[/quote]
