Am I the only one who thinks this is a bad idea?
MIL called me Saturday to thank me for her Christmas card. Then she told me she was getting the kids Saturday night. We are coming in Sunday. Anyone else feel like this is a really bad idea? If we get there before they leave they will have a FIT and not want to go back to their mom. She gets them Christmas eve day and they will come over that night and we get them Christmas day (until hopefully Thursday). I would not take Christmas Eve away from her. The situation sucks as is... but to add this stress is really avoidable.
H thinks they will be fine... then suggested we come in on Saturday, which is suppose to be "Christmas" with my family. Um NO. Then he said we can just "hang out" until they leave. Awesome... after 500 miles, and 7 hours in a car I really want to hang out somewhere until his kids leave. I just feel like his mom should just wait until Monday.
Re: Am I the only one who thinks this is a bad idea?
I'm confused. so they'll be at MIL's then have to go back to their moms before they come back to you.
and if they know you're there they won't want to go back to their moms?

His mom wants to get them Saturday night because she usually gets them on her weekend off.
So they will be there Saturday night, go back to their mom Sunday night and back with us Monday night. I know if they see H they will cry and beg to stay and not go with their mom, which would be awful for her.

I didn't say anything to MIL, I talked to H about it and he thinks it's ok... so, yea there's nothing I can do about it then what I already did. I dread this whole situation, and I hope their mom tells MIL no...
I agree that it has the potential to be a bit of a mess.
What time are you guys getting there Sunday? Maybe just suggest MIL return them Sunday AM instead of night that way she still gets to see them for a little while.
I was going to suggest that, too!
I didn't think of this but it is a great idea! I agree with you that it'll probably hard for them to see you then go back to their mom then come back to you again.
I really wanted to leave o'dark early Sunday and get there at like 10am to miss traffic... but H and I talked again last night about it. He is going to find out what time the kids are going back and we will plan around that. He agrees it's not a good idea for them to see us for a short time and go back to their mom.
