[quote=Anonymous]We included my MIL in holiday celebrations with my parents, initially. She was widowed early into our marriage and my parents are laid back, welcoming people so I thought it would be fine. Unfortunately, MIL is controlling and domineering and literally treated my parents like the "hired help" two holidays in a row. I sat down with my Dh and explained that while I had empathy for MIL's situation, we would no longer be combining holidays. He and MIL didn't take it well but I held strong on the boundary. There's no reason my parents holidays should be ruined because of MIL. MIL still hasn't changed her behavior. 15 years later she's still controlling and domineering. We spend less time with her because she's not enjoyable to be around. [/quote]
