I'm just curious what other's opinion of this would be.....DH and I were planning another trip next fall because we have baby number 3 arriving at the end of July. We decided to take advantage of the Free Dining Package and are going October 1-8 instead with the baby and our other two DDs (4 & 2). My DH wanted to ask his parents to join us - our treat - so they could spend time with their grandchildren. He has two sisters with three children each and they both kind of monopolize his parents' time with babysitting for them. (that is a topic for another thread! ) DH presented this offer to his parents on Sunday, stressing that they were not coming as babysitters, they would have their own room, it was our treat, meals and park tickets were included, etc. They thanked us for the "nice offer" and wanted to know when they needed to let us know by. I just told them as soon as they could. They are both retired, but FIL works weekends and did not see a problem getting time off. FIL called later that Sunday evening to check what dates we were going. That was the last time we talked to them.
DH is starting to get hurt feelings and I'm starting to get annoyed! Are we overreacting? I told him yesterday maybe he should call them and tell them they don't have to come for all 8 days if that was too long for them (I would not mind ). He does not want to though because he thinks it seems like he is begging them to come.
What do you think we should do. I don't know, if someone offered me a free trip anywhere, I'd be all over it!
Thanks for any opinions/advice!
