Sometimes. . .
it would be really, really nice if everyone would recognize that occasionally Archer and I need help too. Sometimes it would be great if our families, in particular, would not put us at the end of the list because, you know, we have it so together. Sometimes it sucks being the responsible ones in our families.

Yup. That's the source of many of the problems between us and husband's parents. Sorry.
To be fair some fairly stressful things are going down in Home State. I, however, don't think they are so stressful that, once again, Archer's brother, Nephew #1 (aka The First Born Grandchild), and Nephew #2 have to be put ahead of my children. As a result of said stressful things, Yetta has cancelled her trip to CU Land, and now we have to explain to Wild Man why his grandmother won't be here for his birthday after she promised she would be.
Oh, and I especially appreciate that we are the ones who have to explain her absence to the boys.
oh boy... that's hard! (sigh) But... you know... sooner or later something like that would happen. Wild Man is probably more mature than you may give him credit for and he may understand that there are other things going on that will prevent his grandma from coming -- hopefully. I know you want to shield him from Archer's family's troubles, but he will eventually feel them... In any case, I'm sorry all this is happening and that you have to explain this to him. I'm sure it won't be easy not to express too much frustration, right? :(
Thinking of you.
