WWYD regarding this weekend

[TrudyCampbell]

Soooo we have plans to visit my ILs this weekend. We made these plans approx 1 million years ago, they planned a BBQ in our honor, and my FIL and H have plans to play golf. 

I'm sort of sick. Well, I atleast seem pretty sick. I have a stuffy nose, I sound sick, and I'm coughing a bit. No one is going to let me anywhere near my newborn niece, as they shouldn't because I obviously don't want to get her sick. And I'm in the mood to just lay around on my couch all weekend and rest. 

Should we reschedule to a weekend where I'm feeling better even though my ILs will FREAK THE FUCK OUT? They're going to be so pissed. I am actually contemplating telling them I'm pregnant to lessen the blow. Or should I go and try to hide my sickness but I'll still stay away from the baby?

How far away are they? Could you send your husband? Him and V? What are their lives like? (like, would it be easy enough for them to reschedule?)

Hmm... I wasn't considering their lives. They are pretty social so it might be tough to reschedule. Damn it. 

They're about 2 hours... I suppppose I could send him and Violet! I hadn't thought of that. I'd be so lonely though! Or would it be amazing?

To add to muppet's questions - how comfortable are you at their house? Would it be acceptable to them/comfortable for you if you spent the weekend laying on their couch?

See this is the thing- no. I am not comfortable there at all. I'd have to be showered and dressed by 7am and smiling and fake drinking the whole time.

You, the couch, bagel delivery?  Hell, now I'm jealous!  They can be all butthurt, but in a few weeks (or whenever), you can be all "OMG!  I was pregnant!  No wonder I wasn't feeling well and stayed home!  I had no idea!"

[rjamz]

I would send H and V and stay home and get bagel delivery

[rjamz]

Lol, muppetinma and I had the same thought

[TrudyCampbell]

OMG a weekend all to myself!!!!

But what about the matching outfits for Violet and Emma? I need to take 1 million photos of that!

[sunshineluv]

I would suck it up and go. It doesn't seem worth the hassle to cancel.

Offer H a blow job if he completes a list of weekend tasks-

1.  Goes to his parents' house with V, leaving you at home to relax.
2.  Keeps the KU secret.
3.  Gets sufficient photos of V&E in their matching outfits. 

It's like a blow job scavenger hunt!!

This, this and this. Definitely!

Everything muppet said. Everything.

Stay home! And Muppet, you kill me!

Come on!  Mr. Trudy usually has to buy fancy, expensive things to get a blow job.  This would be a bargain!  A total win-win!

[TrudyCampbell]

I actually don't want to miss out on the weekend. But the thought of a FREE weekend sounds unimaginably amazing. A little sad, too

I would kill a man for a free weekend. KILL I say.

[robinsparkles430]

Definitely stay home and send your H and V.

[TrudyCampbell]

I texted my husband that I wanted to stay home and rest and he responded with a frown face and said "I don't like that idea!"

COME ON MAN!

Offer him the scavenger hunt!!

Welllllllllll I hate to be the voice of dissent here buuuut remember when your MIL was a little sick and you needed her to suck it up? Just kidding!

If you go I would let them all know in advance and give them clear expectations of your contribution to the weekend. I wouldn't fake feeling well if they don't offer to let you off the hook. Will it create dramz with SIL?

[biblionerd]

Are the parents ok with you being around a sick nb? Or would it be something where you could stay far enough away?

No drama with SIL, she probably couldn't care less about us coming. Bradford doesn't seem to think me staying home is a good option so we'll have to figure it out tonight. Ughhh! Who gets a cold in the summer? And I can't take anything!

I feel like an outside BBQ would be fine? But you're right.

Lol, do you call him Bradford when you're mad?

Just something to consider- if you don't go and your hubby tells everyone you are sick at home, they are probably going to assume you are PG anyway. So, if you don't want people knowing/thinking/wondering, I'd suck it up and go and let SIL know you have a cold (she'll probably hear it/see for herself) and then they won't wonder.

Ooohhhh good point. Damn it, I might have to just go. Maybe we can cut it short because we are going fri-mon but maybe we can leave Sunday or something.

Or maybe you give in and go, and tell your DH he owes you big. Like, he take Violet someone for a whole day next weekend when you are feeling better and can really enjoy it!

I think the reply to this needs to be "too bad". It's his family! If he were sick, would he bail on a weekend with your family (don't ask this question if the answer would be no)?

[TrudyCampbell]

Oh my gosh you guys....they're gonna go without me! My H says he doesn't give a shit if people wonder if I'm pregnant. I'm a little sad but mostly bewildered. What the hell am I going to do with myself!?!?

(Squee!)
