DH wants to drive 2.5 hours to visit his mom this morning, spend the night, then drive another hour (sort of on the way home) to spend the day another family cabin. DD would get to go swimming for the first time. The downside is A LOT of in law time (not to mention terrible cabin traffic) and I am just dreading the trip. Alternatively, I could stay home by myself, deal with the guilt of not going, and get a ton done around the house, and sleep through the night for the first time in 9 months. What would you do?[Poll]

Re: early morning clicky - WWYD re: inlaws this weekend
Luckily I get along great with my inlaws and love spending time with them so this would be a no brainer for me. I say go for it!
Hmm.
This is why I'm obsessing. But my house is an absolute pit, and I am positively entranced by the possibility of having a spotless home, a glass of wine, and a movie tonight. Am I the only one here who is really craving some alone time?
No, I would kill for some alone time. Good point. Yeah, good luck with that.
Like mine do? I still voted go. After all it's your husbands parents and he loves them. Why not do something for him?
This. Sometimes it's just easier to go then explain why you didn't. Plus, I wouldn't want to miss LO swimming.
I would give anything for a night alone... so I voted stay! I'm not a big "i have to see every moment person' though. I've found babies react the same way the first 10 times they see something, so even if you miss the first swim, LO will act the same way during her 2nd swim.
I'm not ready to leave LO over night yet, but if you're ready, I definetly say stay!
*of course I have bsc ILs so I would never let DS go without my supervision, as long as yours are ILS are just irritating and not BSC I'm sure LO will be fine!

I had to SS!
What kind of people are your ILs? If they are like mine you would never live down staying home and that transgression would be thrown in your face for years to come. However, if they are relatively reasonble people and wouldn't hold it against you for the rest of your life and you reeeeally don't want to go then get some rest!
