It's not them. It's you.  Go ahead and stay home because they likely won't miss you.[/quote]

OP, voice of experience here.  Your ILs are 3/3.  Mine are 1/3, on a great day.  The annual vacation is referred to as the week from hell (or "WFH", see prior sentence).  Every year, I agonize over pleasing my DH.  DH knows I love him, no matter what.  But I tell you, if I do *not* attend "WFH", DH loves me even more; and wonders how he ended up with someone so opposite this clannish clan of ingrates.  So, it is a win/win really.  Even the kids hate it.

In your case, with a loving, warm supportive set of ILs?  All I have to say is, will they adopt DH and me and our DC?  Because our DC are greatly missing a decent local family.  We have made our own, and they know they are loved, but they really genuinely feel "WHY???" each time about this year.  If I were you, I would go.  Just some perspective.
