[quote=Anonymous]OP, be like the willow that bends in the wind. If anyone makes snarky comments, who cares? You don't care about their opinion, and if on some level they're trying to needle you or insult you, then thwart them by not being insulted or needled. It's hard at first, but once you get into that mode it's really fantastic. Just try to find it funny, if possible. If you like your life and are happy with your nuclear family, then who cares. As far as oj and pastries, if it's only for a couple of days I might do it. For one thing, fresh pastries = you escape to the store for half an hour! Talk to your DH about keeping his tension level down. You can do this without insulting or criticizing his folks, and keep the focus on the facts you observe: he gets tense, he gets cranky, what can we do to reduce this. It's possible that if you slough things off more and are less tense, it will help him be a little less tense as well. Good luck! Let us know how the weekend goes![/quote]
