[quote=Anonymous]I'm over my in laws. They live a few miles away. They invite us to family gatherings 2-4 times a month. I show up about half the time.

There are three gatherings in the next 10 days and I want to skip them all, and  just send DH and DD.

Is this ok? DH will be disappointed but won't fight me on it.

Examples of why I can't stand them:
-every single gathering they bitch at me for not seeing us more. We see them 1-2 times/month. That seems like a lot to me. And I get tired of multiple relatives raising this with me (AND NEVER DH) at every single gathering
-there is a cousin that, I have learned through mutual acquaintances, frequently shit talks me behind my back (and then acts nice to my face).
-the food is revolting (example: they took campbells chicken noodle soup, drained the broth, smothered in cheese and baked it)
-they don't ever ask anything about DD, DH, me, or our life or show any interest in us, despite me making a point to ask all of them about their lives, jobs, gardening, kids, pets, etc.

I just don't wanna do it anymore. Can I cut back to just Christmas and Easter and send DD and DH on their own? I hate them, pretty sure they hate me and life is too short.
