The BBQ went well.
BUT as he was leaving, BIL says "When SIL and niece arrive, we'll all go out for a really nice dinner." I did say, "You do know that's what today was supposed be." LOL.
Anyways, earlier he had said to my husband the same thing. My husband said, "We'll just do another BBQ." He was SO ANNOYED that his brother was still saying the "nice dinner".
Keep in mind we went to Nando's last weekend and it was a NIGHTMARE. Finished when the 1 year old knocked my VERY full drink into my lap. While the 4 year old would be fine, she can NOT sit still for 2 hours while bored out of her mind at dinner. Plus it's DINNER. Right before bed. Kids do not do well with dinner out.
LUCKILY, my husband has said "absolutely not." So they can go to their Michelin star restaurant with their 4 year old and enjoy themselves. We are not going. WHEW!
