You aren’t wrong one bit!
You are not required to pay for other people‘s travel or the experience. If he wants to invite his family, it’s OK to say this is what we are doing for so-and-so‘s birthday instead of a party. If you want to join, here’s the details and here’s the cost. If you just have a birthday party at Home, you can get some Costco pizza and a Costco cake and spend less than $100 to provide for everyone. It’s outrageous to think that you have to pay all of that for his family.
Definitely agree with others, it's not your responsibility to invite or pay for other to come to an experience you wanted to attend with just your son and partner. If you decide to give in to your partners family orientated thing, then let him organise something - put all the responsibility on him. Otherwise, maybe you could do or attend some other cheap peppa pig themed thing with the extended family (but you not pay) and then attend peppa pig land with just you, son and partner.. that way they get the cheap experience and you get the good one with your son.
Girl take your baby to peppa pig world. It’s your child’s birthday. Adult feelings and frail egos don’t matter here. Your husband also needs to support u or stay home with the rest of them.
Why would you pay for the family, it isn't like you are hosting a birthday party. I'd have said sorry but I just want it to be the 3 of us, and we'll do something as a family later.
Either every one pay for themselves or you guys go, and do something else with the family. This is about your baby.
I took my babyboy to Disney on Ice and bought tickets before saying anything. My mom was upset because she wanted to go. Some functions are for the family I’m building vs the one I came from Though.
He’s married to u he’s got his own family to worry about now he don’t have to feel sum way bc they not married into ur relationship maybe it seems like he needs to put his foot down to put y’all first it’s on to go alone with the kids don’t always gotta be them
Why would they even think they are coming 🤣 I would’ve nipped that in the butt right away. We took our daughter on vacation for her second birthday and nobody was invited or even thought to ask to come because that’s rude. It’s a family trip (aka OUR family: mom, dad, and child). Your husband definitely needs to put his biologically family in place. That type of mindset he has will negatively affect his marriage down the line.
I would NEVER expect my family to pay my way for something like that. The absolute entitlement and gall. No. I love the idea for your little family and feel free to invite everyone but they need to pay their own way.
Every adult should pay their own way!!!! You can tell them you’d love for everyone to come but can’t afford to bring them. This way you can give them the option of coming without funding their trip.
