My FIL's an a$$

He was complaining to my MIL about us having a big party for DS on Saturday.  He doesn't know why we have to invite so many people.

Um.  All I invited was my siblings, my IL's and his grandparents.  I can't help that I am the youngest of 7 children, and most of my siblings are married/have SOs, and some have children.

I'm expecting about 25 people.  I was tempted to tell her that if he has a problem with the amount of people, then he doesn't have to come.

Re: My FIL's an a$$

  • What a jerk! I totally agree that if he doesn't like it he can stay the F home...

    We have that many people at Josh's parties and we each only have 1 sibling.  Josh has a lot of people involved in his life that love him and want to help us celebrate, i can't imagine excluding any of them no matter how much I want a small intimate party for my own sanity.

    Hugs and don't let it get to you enjoy this time, DS is only little once and all this should be fun for you not stressful!

  • What's his problem?  He's a lame-o.

    my read shelf:
    Kasi's book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)

  • Why does he care? It's not happening at his house and he doesn't have to setup or cleanup from it. If his problem is that he wants more quality time with Levi (just trying to come up with a rational reason why he would care how many people are at the party) then he should talk to you about some one on one time.

  • ridiculous. If you want to have a party with 100 people its your choice. We are only celebrating with grandparents this year just because I don't see the need for a larger party each year personally but I don't think those that do have parties for their kids like that each year are doing anything silly either. 

    I think my one sister is actually mad I am not having anything just because she's not getting free food.

  • I'm with Sarah. I don't really see how this concerns him, unless he is footing the bill or it is being held at his house. if he doesn't like it, he doesn't have to come.
  • I wanted to have it at our house, but currently parking is limited, so it's being held at the social hall of our church.  I'm making most of the food, I asked MIL to make potato salad.  He/they are paying for nothing.

    This is small compared to his 1st birthday...there were about 75 there, mostly family some friends...all main people in our lives.

    My family is large, and 4 out of us 7 live within 10 miles of each other (3 of us within 2 miles of each other on the same road) 2 live an hour away each direction from us, and 1 lives in Florida for half the year.  We are a close family.
