[quote=Anonymous]You started to write it yourself. Just slightly modified, delivered by DH: "We don't see you that often, so we would prefer another time when we are less preoccupied. This event really turns into a logistical nightmare, so I hope you'll understand why I'm asking you to come a different weekend. How about ___ or ____ dates? We'll do x thing you like/cook x thing you like/etc and really get some quality time together." That gives your ILs a chance to gracefully back out. With added pressure, DH says, "Look, Mom, I'm sorry, but it's just not going to work" and repeats the offer for the alternate dates (that you and he have pre-agreed on).[/quote]
