[quote=Anonymous]Take a deep, deep breath and relax, OP. I did the exact same thing this year and planned a family trip with the in-laws...after YEARS of resisting. And it went fine. I had to let a great deal roll off my back because of snide comments, but I survived, and you will too. Take the high road. Remember this is your DH parents and you love HIM. Also, she has a lot more years of practice being the way she is than you do at reacting to it. So she is going to win if you engage. Just do NOT engage. Smile, nod, walk away (but not in a huff). Just make it your goal to ride out this vacation the best you can as pleasantly as possible. Then reward yourself (with a new purse, bottle of wine, or night out) when you do not succumb to her antagonism. And then make a note not to plan another vacation of togetherness again for at least another 5 years! You can do it!!![/quote]
