[quote=Anonymous]DH wants to attend a family wedding oversea; on his side of the family, which means that MIL will be attending.

MIL is extremely subversive toward me, especially when she has an audience (her family, who all want something from her.  I do not, except maybe peace and quiet.)

How can we make it  a worthwhile trip for our immediate (DH, me, and small children) family, without giving MIL the opportunity to be her usual nasty self.  I might add, she is passive aggressive, a wolf in sheeps clothing, such that the rest of her family has an idea of how she is toward me, but they don't call her on it.

The rest of the family, understandably, does not want to be subjected to her games; nor put in the scope of her fire. I would hate to miss the trip because of her.

As an aside, we live close, but she does not bother with her grandchildren, if that matters. They are starting to put the pieces of the picture together themselves, now that they are older.  I would not want to send the message to them that bullies win.

What say you?[/quote]
