[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am an introvert and I get how much you dread and hate this. But... come on. It's life. It's your children's grandparents. You are right that they are not doing it for you--and it's annoying that they would try to present it that way without really understanding your personality and needs--but can't you do it for them? I might complain about it and secretly resent it, but I would never refuse or even send a text like the one you did.[/quote]

I think It's hard to judge op's response without knowing how often this happens. If It's once every 3 years that might be one thing but if the in-laws are pressuring her into things she has said she doesn't want to do on a quarterly basis I won't judge her for that text.[/quote]

From OP's update:

[i]For those asking: This is not at all the first time they have thrown "small gatherings" of 50 people against my express wishes. God, no. We've been married 9 years, and this started with big Indian wedding I wanted none of. But this is the first time they have asked me in advance, told me it was in my honor, invited my contemporaries rather than theirs, and are doing it without DH present. They want to claim it is "for me." [/i]

Some people never learn, or maybe OP is a masochist. [/quote]

We still don't know how often OP's ILs do this. [/quote]

I'm thinking as often as they want to. [/quote]
