[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]

But on the flip side shouldn't the in-laws have the same standard and NOT do it for her.  Why does she have to accommodate their wishes but they can ignore hers.[/quote]

Because OP is writing for advice.  I have no doubt that if the ILs wrote in, they would be told to knock it off.  We (or in this case OP) can only control herself.

Exactly! So op says no. In-laws complain that op doesn't understand their culture and op points out that the in-laws are not respecting her culture [/quote]
