This woman strikes me as a real pill -- here she is, hoping to supposedly celebrate the christening of her child, and all she cares about is how awful her future inlaws are for coming to see her baby be christened (like Cary said-- they were, after all, invited)? Lighten up, lady. One of the first lessons of parenting, and even marriage, is that it's NOT ABOUT YOU anymore, and your convenience and dream-perfect world of How Things Should Be. Being married, and having children, is very often a big dramatic hassle that involves a lot of compromise and the putting of other people before yourself... When you marry HIM, you're marrying his family, with all their good qualities and bad. Get used to it. I feel bad for the guy here-- his family is coming to support this couple and she considers it inconvenient. Yuck.
