[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, surely you understand that DCUM is the right forum for affirmation when you want to do something hurtful or mean or that screws over the in laws, right?  You’re guaranteed to get plenty of support - plus an extra dose of snarky ageism as well.

You came to the right place for plotting your scheme![/quote]

This is so rude and uncalled for. I don’t think they should lie to the in-laws but having them come and act like guests on an already hectic day with no help?  Just no.

Being a parent of small kids having to cook and clean and help them
And then do it with the in-laws? No.  She isn’t saying not see them
Just see them on a different day.  Plenty of families do this.

I stopped seeing my family at Christmas after flying in with my newborn baby (that everyone demanded I come) there were no rental cars available when I booked months ahead and asked for someone to come pick us up.  No one would.  It was a nightmare so I put up my BOUNDARIES and said I would never put myself in that situation again. You can’t cater to everyone and have to do what’s best for your mental health and what’s best for your family.  I still see and love my family and don’t expect anything from them, but I do it in my terms now.  As should the OP!
