[quote=Anonymous]My wife acquired step siblings when she was in her early 20s and they were in their teens. Fast forward 15 or so years and she can’t stand them, and the feeling appears to be mutual. The problem is that the respective parents think it’s all one big happy family are are constantly pushing family vacations (which we decline now that we have our own child), and family gatherings, even small informal ones, typically involve the whole crew. My wife recently tried to address it with her mother, suggesting she’d like more family time without the step siblings but that did not go over well as her mother was apparently very insulted by the suggestion. Anyone successfully navigate this type of situation. It makes my wife (and by extension me) not want to spend time with the family, which ultimately just leads to more guilt tripping and bad feelings from her mother.[/quote]
