This thread is awesome. Making me chuckle and also making me hang my head in shame for being "that" family last year.
We planned a huge family trip ( 20 something people) last September and of course it was hard to keep track of everyone coming and going. MIL decided to come along and she stayed in the room with DH, DS (2 at the time), DS (3.5 month) and I. Recipe for disaster and I love my MIL.
ODS loves meeting the characters and I wasn't prepared for how hot it would be so when, on our only MK day, a fastpass to meet Mickey at Town Square Theater opened up I grabbed it but could only get it for one person. As we walked by, the sign said the wait time would be 20 minutes so we decided to go in and if it was more than 30 minutes we would leave and wait for the fast pass time and one of us would take ODS while the others waited. Everything is going fine but the line takes about 3 times as long as it said. When ODS got tired of standing he only wanted me to hold him but when I passed the baby off to my MIL or to DH he would wail. I tell DH we should go, I'll feed the baby and you take ODS but he refuses because he wanted a picture of all of us with Mickey. I told him I would find fast passes and we could go back another day even if it was only to meet Mickey. He flat out refuses. I am now holding both kids and the baby is getting hungry. DH asks the CM how much longer the wait was going to be and he said we had two groups in front of us. I decide I'm just going to nurse the baby. I am always very discreet but standing in line was not my ideal nursing location. Then MIL starts asking me if I brought a blanket or if I want her scarf to cover up. I give DH the "make it stop" eyes and mutter that it was too hot to add another layer of clothing and I wouldn't be doing this if we had just left the line when I wanted to. DH and I bicker back and forth and MIL tells us to cool down and a billion people on vacation from Brazil witnessed the Great Mickey argument of 2015. All was forgotten when ODS got to run up to Mickey and even the baby seemed to calm down in the cool room.
