[quote=Anonymous]It seems weird to me that the MIL would EVER schedule a party on evening of the last day of a holiday weekend knowing that your family would have to take leave to attend....especially when there is another easy alternative. Even without the details of your specific situation, most working folks just don't have that kind of leave to spare. I'm guessing that you're the only family member who has to travel to family events? Glad that you're not twisting yourself in knots now, since the scheduling is not going to get any easier when your kids get older - hopefully your MIl will become a bit more empathetic to your scheduling issues. fWIW, I grew up doing 4 hour weekend road trips to visit extended family, on a regular basis. We made it work...but had to be pretty hardcore about timing....out the door by 1 or 2 pm to get home, no matter how much my grandma wished that we could 'stay just a little bit longer.'[/quote]
