[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The twins have to be the first grandkids. This is something that new parents expect when there are no other kids in the family. Once you have kids there is no way your in-laws are going to drive their, by then, 8 or 9 year old twins to your kids two year old birthday party. They will have other sports, dance, music, school birthday parties to go to.  I was just thinking about his the other day. My oldest brother had big birthday parties for his oldest and every extended relative went and brought huge gifts (including me).  By the time my kids rolled around, I am lucky to get the grandparents to come. He and his wife and kids don't show up. Really, don't go. The twins will never remember who was there, they won't even remember the party. No one will ever look at those birthday pictures in a few years. It is silly to drive 7 hours for that. [/quote]

Good point.[/quote]

Yup, this.  This is new parent/new grandparent territory.  Once your kids come, OP, you will be getting the scraps, because that's how this works.  [/quote]
