My MIL is freakin crazy. She frustrates me to no end. I try to be patient with her, but it's soooooooo hard!

We are planning a trip to visit the in-laws at the end of the month. We had originally planned on driving the 8 hour drive because flights are expensive. And DD is 14 months and would absolutely not sit still for a flight. And she's a screamer. At this point, I really honestly cannot imagine holding her for a flight (even a 45 minute flight). But MIL INSISTED on using her miles to buy us 3 tickets. So we said okay. Fast forward to today when she emails my husband the itinerary for TWO seats that AREN"T EVEN TOGETHER! She didn't ask about times or dates or if 2 seats were even ok. WTF?! Why promise something if you're going to do something totally different. And then throw it in our face like we're ungrateful. We were happy to drive. It'd be easier with DD and we wouldn't have to lug all of our crap thru the airport.

We looked into buying a 3rd seat but there aren't any seats together.

So what would you do? Try to return the tickets and drive? Or try to wrangle your screaming, wiggly, crying toddler alone?

Ugh, this is a stress I don't really need right now.....
