[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How bad is your MIL, OP? How far away is she?  Can you fly there on Tues or Wed and leave on Sat?[/quote]

The question about how bad she is -- that's what I'm trying to determine in order to decide whether it would be appropriate for me to skip the trip.  She is pretty good with the grandkids and she is generally ok to deal with if you can ignore her know-it-all parenting criticisms (aimed only at her daughter and the DILs, never her sons) and her manipulative tears and/or passive aggressive jabs.  She's definitely not one of the MIL horror shows that I've read about on other threads.  It's a 2-hour flight.  I'm thinking I might just schedule out our entire time with activities to get us out of the house (we'll stay in a hotel but will be at MIL's often) so I can stay sane and make plans to arrive Thursday and leave Saturday.  If we plan to spend all day Friday with SIL's family (SIL is no longer speaking to MIL), that will really minimize my MIL time.[/quote]
