[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is called being passive-aggressive OP and yes, it is common. The only way you can deal with it is to stick to your plans. And to talk to your husband about the fact that his lack of communication basically means he is letting you be the fall guy. He needs to step up and reiterate your plans and deal with his own mother. [/quote] I'd also say that you shouldn't have rewarded the cruddy behavior in the first instance by offering them a visit at New Year's. In fact, BIL's e-mail only deserved a "Sheesh, bro, Mom can speak up for herself if she has a problem" from DH or no response at all. If MIL can't communicate…well, oh well! But don't reward it with extra explanations or offers of time, especially if she's calling in other people to guilt trip you.[/quote]
