2 random WWYD's
1. My Mil is coming to visit this weekend and we have no real plans other than hanging out. T is telling me that I should go to my Saturday yoga class because I hate to miss it. But I feel rude, like I'm abandoning the two of them after she drove 4 hours to see us. I wasn't going to go but if you guys think it's ok and her feelings won't be hurt, then I'll go.
2. I used to love my dental hygenist and at some point, they switched me to someone else who I don't like at all. Is is acceptable to ask to switch back to my old one? I've been thinking of switching practices anyway, but am lazy and miss my old hygenist. We got along well and this new one grates on me. Is it bad form to change people within the practice?
I know these are silly but it's Friday and I'm wiped out. I'd like to sleep for the next two days!
Re: 2 random WWYD's
1. I don't know. What time is your class and do you guys have anything else planned? How long is it for? If your dh is going to be there to entertain her, I think you could go. It's not like you need to put your life on hold when someone visits.
2. Yes, of course ask to switch! You're the customer. Your money = your wishes.
1. I say go, but you know what's best in your situation and relationship. Is you MIL the type that she'd love to come along if you get a guest pass or a one class pass?
2. Definitely speak up.
1. I'd go. My DH likes to have the opportunity to catch up with his parents and sometimes I find the conversation tedious or about people I don't know. It's a good time for that sort of thing.
2. Yes, ask if you can go back to your old hygenist. If you feel awkward, call and say "I'd like to schedule my appointment at a time when X is available - she's awesome and I really like (whatever you like about her) ..."
1. Like secretkeeper said, you could ask MIL if she'd want to come along. I bet you could get a one-class pass for her. Even if she declines, you'd still be making an effort to include her and her feelings are less likely to be hurt.
2. I'd definitely ask to switch back.

1. I'd ask if she'd like to come along. If she doesn't, I would go and let her and DH have some time alone together (unless he doesn't want to). If your class is early in the morning, they could join you afterwards to have brunch (or any other activity) together.
2. I'd ask to switch back.
1. I don't think it is rude. How is your relationship with her? If it were me, I'd probably even mention to my MIL that I have this great yoga class that I go to that I didn't want to miss and that I'd meet up with them afterwards. I'd maybe even see if she'd like to join me. I think depending on the way you communicated with her, her feelings won't be hurt. Plus, it might be nice to give MIL and DH some time alone together (maybe that is why DH is telling you to go?)
2. Definitely ask for the hygienist you like! I ALWAYS request my favorite. There are no hard feelings and certainly not bad form!
This.
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
Thanks for the opinions. I was going to invite her but it's an advanced, heated class and she just started yoga. I don't want her to pass out on me! Maybe I'll see if she wants to do the slower class right afterward...hmm. Thanks!
1. Depends: what time does she arrive vs what time is the class? Will she be walking in and then 10 mins later you are out the door? And how long will you be gone? For the most part, I think it is fine if you go. Besides, she might like the time alone with Dh. Try to make some other plans (even if it is just a meal out) so she doesn't feel like the whole weekend was just hanging out. Overall, I think it could work out just fine.
2. Yes, ask for your previous hygenist. This is your health and if you don't like the one you are with, find someone you do. Maybe you can ask politely at the desk: Is there a time when *my favorite hygenist* is available? Or if you need to be more direct, explain to the receptionist that you prefer the previous hygenist. It doesn't have to be a big deal and I bet you can do it without hurting anyones feelings.
Best of luck and have a good weekend!

1) I think it would be nice for your MIL to have some individual time with her son. I'd make sure DH planned to take her to breakfast or something though.
2) ABSOLUTELY ask for your next appt to be with the other hygenist!
