[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, you can send DH and DD on their own.

If your DH doesn't like it, he can man up and tell his family to stop blaming you for not seeing the family more often and to stop shit talking you.  It's his responsibility to make seeing his family as pleasant (or as not terrible) as possible, especially if he wants you to see them all the time.[/quote]

Op here. I LOVE this answer![/quote]

I'm the PP quoted and DH and I have to be very firm with our families because both sides can be real turds if left to their own devices.  My mother has never met a problem that couldn't be blamed on a son in law and my MIL thinks DH hung the moon and no one could possibly be good enough for him.  Both of them are fiercely protective and loving mothers which can be great IF YOU'RE THEIR KID but if you aren't, they are god awful.  So it's on each of us to ride herd on our respective moms to make things work because neither of them will pay a lick of respect to a child-in-law unless forced to.  If DH wasn't willing to go to bat for me with his mom, I wouldn't visit her period and he feels the same way about my mother.  However, since each of us is willing to acknowledge that our moms are who they are and manage them accordingly, things work well.[/quote]
