[quote=Anonymous]If these ILs truly drove in at the drop of a hat, made themselves useful, and were delightful to be around and took care of themselves, they would have been invited. The OP wouldn’t have thought about it. The fact that they were not and lost their minds tells me everything I need to know about them, especially since they were going to see the kid the following weekend, Also, a seventh birthday is not some major milestone. We invited out of town grandparents for first birthday, Christening, that kind of thing. We did not invite for kindergarten graduation, random number birthdays, etc, and no one got upset. We planned visits when it worked for everyone because visits meant that someone was staying somewhere for a few days and would need more time and planning because it would be a lot of togetherness when there were many other things going on. Kids were happy because “two cakes! More balloons!” and the activity was centered on the grandparents and grandchildren. [/quote]
