Oh, and you might think about his mother becoming your MIL and how you`re going to handle that because it can be a real bitch!

I think that this is bigger than Chuck E. Cheese. If the daddy called you `pathetic`, then it`s because men don`t always `get it.` I don`t think it`s pathetic to NOT want someone to do ANY first that you`ve been waiting for. But, honestly, I don`t think Chuck E. Cheese is special enough to wait for -- I`d try to take a deep breath and see if I could find a different, better `first` to wait for. Like the other lady said, `Find some real special firsts and hold onto them and let the other ones go.` And like the other lady said, `Let them have this one. They`ll remember it forever and your kid won`t give a hoot.` It`s one of those `pick your battles` situations. Maybe you should all go and have a great time. (BTW: The first walk in the neighborhood would have pissed me off to all ends of the universe, and I had to race to the store to buy my baby`s first gift because I just knew that MIL wouldn`t respect that maybe I wanted to buy my unborn child his/her first present -- so I`m right there with you!)

Why dont you tell them you will meet them there and you ALL can see his first trip there?

My daughter was 1 and half when I took her to chucky cheese, they have kiddie playgrounds there for the little ones. They also have the riding carosel and the moving cars. Great for little ones. My daughter had a ball. The baby slide was her best. My husband works alot so I am a SAHM. I do alot with her. But they aren`t going to remember it, although I just love seeing my daughter smile and have a fun time. there`s always other days you can take the baby.

You can get hung up on firsts, I have. What I have done is picked a few that really meant alot to me. First zoo, first halloween, first Christmas. Try not to sweat every first, pick some important ones and stick to them. They`re just excited grandparents. I think it`s sweet they want to treat him to some fun...maybe the park would be better?

I am the exact same way. I want to be there for the firsts. My 6 year old just spent a week with my inlaws. He has two wiggly teeth I was so worried that he would loose them while at their house. He did not I was so happy. I am the same way with my new LO. I want to see their first reactions to everything.

i agree with buttersblock too, you can take him when he is about 3 ish and it will be more fun and he may even remember it!

butterblocksmom (153.5 days ago)
Let them take him...he won`t remember going there, but your finance and your in-laws will if you say they can`t.

I took my son to Chuck E Cheese right around that age and it was an AWFUL experience. They aren`t old enough to enjoy it yet and get extremely upset when you try to take them away from the little kiddy ride(s). He threw a fit when we were tying to eat. He wouldn`t settle down for anything. We both walked out of there saying `Why in God`s name did we do this?` hahhaha. I know exactly how you feel too because I felt the same way about well, everything! We`ve got to be the first (my husband and I) - true he`ll never remember it but you`ll have pictures. It`s your call - understandably enough to be upset about that particular place but trust me, they`ll have their hands full if they go with him. :p

I dont think your being pathetic! Obviously its important to you! I would just tell them you have been waiting to take him there forever so tell them your gonna tag along. etiher 1.they will pick somewhere else. or 2. you will get to go with him the frist time!! :)

No, you are being perfectly reasonable. I am just like you are. My mom threw a fit because I won`t let her take my 5 year old to Disney when she goes...my husband and I have it planned to go in probably 2 or 3 years once the baby is older. There are just certain things a parent should get to do first.

MS.mom (153.5 days ago)
As a mother you should want to experience as much as possible the first time with them. I mean if chuck e cheese is a big deal for you than it is so be it.

I`m big on doing things first with my LO too. So, I personally don`t blame you for being a little upset. Maybe you can just tell her that you wanted to take your LO there first. Or maybe tell her you think he`s too young and you`d like her to pick another place to eat. I work full time so doing special things with my LO is a big deal for me :o) It makes me feel good even though she won`t remember it!
