[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband’s sister moved to the DMV last year and is constantly asking to get together for play dates between her kids,7 and 8 and my son, 6. We have never had a great relationship with her; she is very judgmental and has a holier than thou attitude. Her sons also are aggressive toward each other, hitting etc., which is not something I want my son to witness on a regular basis. Our kids are never going to be BFFs.

I have agreed to get the kids together for occasional holidays and some birthdays. My husband is pretty indifferent to his sister so he doesn’t care whether we get together or not. She has been very critical of him over the years, but has been Ms. Sweet to him ever since she moved here.

But the requests from her are now much more frequent, and I find myself making up excuses not to get together. My son has a good number of friends in the area, and we are regularly invited to play dates and birthday parties. I know my SIL is still trying to find her tribe.

How can I get her off my back? Or do I just suck it up and get the cousins together once a quarter?

Thanks for any advice on this.

Sounds like her kids aren't making any friends due to their behavior. Get the cousins together once a quarter with a hard stop time.[/quote]
