What comes screaming through this letter to me is the LW's incredible immaturity. People who've lived a little, who have a solid relationship with their spouse or partner, who've made a mature decision to have a child, who've thought through what a christening is all about and what's important about it (and what's not important about it), just don't get caught up in stupidity with their relatives about these sorts of things. They make plans with their spouse/partner that work for them, they do their best to accommodate the reasonable requirements of their family, AND THEY MOVE ON. In other words, they take control over (and responsibility for) their own lives and stop sweating the unimportant details of a party. How is someone who can't make it past the christening without freaking going to actually raise a kid?
