[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad’s wake is coming up, which means I will be seeing a lot of family members including my BIL who I do not get along with.

We got into a major verbal spat last year over parenting styles and he was extremely critical of both me and my son.

I will be at the wake with my infant, my son, husband and MIL, who said she would run interference and distract my son with coloring books and other activities since we will be there for about two hours. My sister’s kids who will also be there have gotten along for the most part with my son but they too have had their moments and issues getting along.

I’m nervous and want advice on how to handle avoiding getting in any more spats. I don’t want any drama at this important event to honor my dad.[/quote]
My SIL is worried about her mom's upcoming memorial.  Her two sisters are horrible to her, making passive-agressive comments and shaming her in public.

I just said my brother (her DH) would be on one side of her and I'd be on the other.  If my college-age kids are in town, they'll stand guard too.  Sort of cocoon her with people who will protect her.

Find those people, OP.[/quote]
