Our little one turns one soon, and both sets of grandparents live abroad. We had mentioned the idea of spending the 1st birthday with all of them, but the closer it gets, the more we dread the set-up. Previous visits have left us exhausted as they all try and make up for the fact that they don't see their grandchild very often and totally ignore our requests for occasional calm/ nap times/ etc.
We feel that we would be doing this for them, while our little family would not enjoy an extended weekend with all four of them as much as they would. Are we unreasonable to cancel 8 weeks in advance or should we do this for our parents (who may not be around forever, after all) and as a nice memory (if only in photos) for our baby?
