I anticipate quite the fight with my family when we do the party next Saturday. I've already spoken sternly to my mother about having to leave the party around 7 or 8 (it won't start until after 5 since we're baptizing DS on that day too) in order to keep to his schedule. Why don't these people understand that WE are the ones who have experience with THIS baby, and that we might know what we're talking about when we say that something (soothing, schedule, feeding, etc) has to be a certain way?
The friends of my friend won't believe that her daughter is horribly allergic to cats (breathing problems after a few minutes of contact) and keep trying to get her to come over to their cat-filled houses.
