Re: Need help with a decision..family related
Without knowing the background of the feud btw you and SIL, it's hard to say. Will your MIL be there? Other family members that will be there? I would go, anyway. You would probably have a good time regardless. And whenever you get bored, just play with your beautiful baby!!

No other family will be there. Just me, SIL, and the other cousin (aside from the cousin who is throwing the party.)

Re: Need help with a decision..family related
I would go. Why keep DS away from his cousins? Just avoid talking to her.

Re: Need help with a decision..family related
It seems like it would be pretty hard with no one else there to talk to...
if you can just play w/baby & kids and ignore the rest, then go...otherwise don't
It depends upon the person, me personally, don't think I could go if I was on non speaking terms w/someone....but if you guys can pretend for the sake of the party, then go
Sorry, it sounds like a icky situation either way

This is a good point. I wouldn't want DS to not see his cousins. I want him to develop relationships with them.

Re: Need help with a decision..family related
Since I have a SIL with whom I barely speak. (If I had my way I would never with the things she has said about me, but I do it for my DH and FIL)
I have to say that I can completely feel your pain. If it was me I probably wouldn't go, even though I know I should.

I'd go and be the bigger person.
If you feel uncomfy - you can blame it on DS that you have to leave.

Re: Need help with a decision..family related
Kris, I know how hard this must be. Ugh, as much as I hate to say this, I would try to go. At least you have Daniel there to keep you busy. This way she can NEVER say anything against you for avoiding family functions. She is a beast and you will be the bigger person by bringing that adorable little boy to see his family.

Re: Need help with a decision..family related
WOW Bubbs looks like you adn I have the same issue with our SIL's. She's just evil to no limit, it all started after DH and I got engaged too....Personally I would not go. If you despise your SIL as much as I despise mine, I can't even bare to be in the same room as her. I would not go.

Re: Need help with a decision..family related
I feel horrible about the decision I made, I am in a similiar boat.
DH's family is a nightmare.
BIL is okay...he lives in Kentucky(army) his wife is pregnant, shower is this month in FL. He has 2 girls from prev marriage, wife has one. all these girls LOVE josh. so good with him.
I am also new baby's godmother. We were invited to stay at SIL's mother's house. beautiful, screened in pool...would have been fun.
DH wasn't going to go, Just me and Josh.
I declined after going back and forth forever.
I hate my MIL and her daughter. HATE them.
I don't want to be in the room with them. I don't want to make anyone else uncomfortable.
its a shame, Josh would have had a great time.

Re: Need help with a decision..family related
Personally I wouldn't go. I hate going to parties and being uncomfortable. I'd rather stay home and see them another time with a gift
