I know I'm being petty, but I'm 38 weeks preg and annoyed at BIL. He and his wife just got to the US after living in Asia and first offered to come visit us (and our 2 DCs) ON my due date. DH said that doesn't work for us, so now they are coming 1 week before and want to go to a broadway show, out to dinner, do sight seeing. I was really thinking more they should be coming to hang out with us and our 2 DCs (his nephews) which they have only met once or twice since they were abroad.

What exactly ae you mad about? That they are not planning their week around your kids or the timing of their visit?
[ Reply | Options ]she is 38 wks pg, it is hot and she has 2 other kids to watch. i'd get mad if someone was breathing
[ Reply | Options ]even if they are self sufficient, you have to make sure they have towels, keys, food in the house. it's crazy that they would even consider staying at your place. Sounds like they just want free housing. Tell them to go to a hotel and you can see them once or twice if you are up to it.
[ Reply | Options ]ita - i'm 39 weeks and anything is tough in this heat. but unless they have kids, they won't understand. tell them you're not up for anything, but would be happy for them to come over for something casual and low key. if they want to go to a show, tell them to have a great time cause you'll be chilling at home in the a/c.

When I ride in a taxi cab with my DC I:
- Use a carseat
- Buckle him/her in his/her own seat
- Hold him/her on my lap
- I'd never ride in a taxi with my DC, it's much too dangerous!
