For my birthday.
Her reasoning is 1) We can never get anyone to sit for both of them together because of their exuberant behavior when they are together.
2) taking dd2 would mean no-one would have a peaceful meal. Sitting still is not something she does well, even at home she is practically tied to the table at meal times, without the added distraction of being in a new, exciting place
3) dd1, when apart from dd2, is very grown up and will sit nicely and join in with adult conversation
4) not taking either of them means either DH or my sister would have to stay home with both of them, because they are the only people who can manage both children together
5) We are having a child-friendly tea party (that really is for the children, not me) before we go, so it's not like dd2 won't be doing anything nice. She will then go to MILs for a sleepover, where she will be spoilt with takeouts and dvds.
My mum says she would leave early with dd1 because she has to be at work the next day anyway, leaving me to carry on my night with the rest of my family. Dd1 would sleep at her house, because she is very self sufficient and requires little looking after when she does not have dd2 as her partner in crime, so my disabled father would manage easily with her until we collected her.
Is it fair to take dd1 and not dd2? I'm not sure.

My mum wants to take dd1 out for the night with us but not dd2?
