[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, from the beginning I've let my DH handle his family. For one, its a big family and I just don't have the time or emotional energy. For two, after planning our wedding I was pretty burned out on trying to accommodate the preferences of DH's family (not that it is the only factor, but DH, my mom, and I paid for the wedding so it bugged me when DH's family wanted to add a lot if invitees to a wedding they were not helping out with financially). Actually, even during the wedding planning I let DH do most of the communication with his family am SO glad I did, even though it did result in one massive miscommunication. Sometimes my mom is tempted to call my SIL instead of my BIL to try and arrange a visit. I always encourage her to email both my BIL and SIL, or just call my BIL. They've only been married about 2 years and don't live close to my mom so I think it unfair for my mom to call up my SIL and ask "so when can I visit?" [/quote]
