[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If SIL and mil are so bad, why do you even want your kids hanging with them more?!
You want to tell them to include your family, when you yourself aren't even bothering to go? 
I feel sorry for your DH, with all the women in his life abandoning him. [/quote]

OP here.  This is an interesting point!  I am not a therapist, but the women in his life before me are entitled and abusive.  I try to stay away from them, and really wish that DH would do the same.  But I can not tell him what to do.  My concern stems mostly from our DC seeing him treated this way by his birth family; especially since we are a more considerate, involved, warm, inclusive and fun family ourselves (our nuclear family).  He sees it when we are with my family - they are much more alive, and enjoy life to its fullest, including the people in it. It would not occur to my family to act like his family does.

While he wishes I would take part, he is acutely aware that I do not accept how they treat me or him, nor should I.

What would you suggest, given a few more facts here, and your strong opinion?
