[quote=Anonymous]You are a really nice person- your DH is lucky to have you! They sound exactly like my ILs (but I don’t have to host, fortunately). I avoid conversations (and tend to leave the room whenever they start up). Honestly I try to think of them in the same way I’d think of someone with special needs or some sort of mental impairment. Sounds terrible, but it works well, and helps me to muster up some sympathy and be tolerant when they start up one of their rants.. As for the hosting: can you continue hosting since your home is accessible for ILs but dial way back on the work? I’d start having people bring food etc. If it isn’t financially burdensome, I’d get at least the main dishes etc catered. Ask DH for help on any cleaning and prep work- and dial that back too- odds are they don’t care whether your house is perfect, anyway. [/quote]
