[quote=Anonymous]Last year, our kids school held a "Fall Family Festival" and we invited both sets of parents, but only the grandmothers came. The plan was to meet there (my husband arrived from work and met us there), but my mom drove with the kids and me since she spent the afternoon with me while the kids were in school. My MIL completely lost it and cried and got really upset with me and at my mom. It was a mess, really embarrassing and awkward, and ruined the whole night.

Our relationship had never been great to begin with (she's sort of jealous, controlling, insecure), but I don't think we fully recovered from that night. We are civil, but it's clear we will never be close. Now, with "Fall Family Festival" on the horizon again, and since my husband will have a work obligation and won't be attending, I'm thinking if only inviting my own parents this year, and maybe planning a cider mill trip when DH can attend or something.

Would you give a second chance? I'm torn. My good hearted nature says to give another chance, but my mind says to avoid the potential drama and embarrassment this year.

I need some advice from an outsider! Please![/quote]
