[quote=Anonymous]Op here.  Very helpful to hear advice not to push husband.

As for outings, the issue is that brother in law and sister in law are the type of people that only want to make the plans they want to make and they book things up many weeks in advance.  So spending time is them inviting us to do what they want to do weeks in advance.  I get sick of doing only 'what they want to do.'  I want to build a relationship but I hate having it to always be 'on their terms.'   I should add, one thing I'm sort of prickly about is I don't like making plans weeks in advance or having a weekend that is all schedule out.  My DH and I work insane hours, and find our whole family (including DC) is happiest when our weekends are too 'booked up.'  One or two plans only and/or spontaneous plans only.

When we've invited them to do things we would like to do they are either a) not available per schedule being all booked up, or b) only want to come for an hour or two.

Thanks again!    [/quote]
