[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]fuck em.  Pour your own wine, eat your own food.  mock them behind their backs.  I think that's what in-laws are for.[/quote]

This.

OP, you are not alone.  I adore the PP who mentioned the game about what offensive things they will do - wish I had thought of that 20 years ago!  Now *I* have a new holiday tradition :)

OP, our IL's would start dinner without us, in spite of our having waited each prior year when SIL's children made them late - and there would actually be (get this) little or (usually) *no* dinner food left.  Such that we had to stop at McDonald's on the way home.  How depressing is that?  So, we try to have holiday food on hand, which is difficult, because we travel most of the break, and can't leave food in the fridge, for obvious reasons.  MIL knows this, but does not give a flying care.  I have actually started to outright remind them to leave food for our children.  Even though, deep down, I was wishing for my family's holiday.  I get it.

What I don't get is how some families can be so cold, insular and uncaring during a "holiday" season.  [/quote]
