[quote=Anonymous]OP reviving my thread.  After this nightmare here, just 2 weeks later we flew to the west coast as had been planned for 2 years to “celebrate” ILs 50th.   It was miserable. We got embroiled in the flight delays and my MIL was mean and SIL maybe spoke 10 words. Limited contact after that trip. 
In October, FIL had massive health scare and emergency brain surgery. SIL who lives 3 miles from ILs was in Florida for a Reuben studdard, newsboys, and nick carter (separate) concert extravaganza when this happened.  MIL did not tell SIL about the brain surgery to not ruin her trip. I called SIL and told her. She refused to leave Florida. DH could not take leave from work (new job) to go, and I would cause more stress.  Got through that. We booked MIL hotel near the hospital (2 hours from their house).  And my FIL is doing well. 
A few weeks ago my MIL mentioned that they would like to visit here in April if that was ok, and I reiterated she and my FIL are always welcome.  I texted MIL on Friday asking if they were still planning this trip (trying to get the sports calendar worked out).  And she replies, oh yes we bought newsboy concert tickets for a show in Fairfax, I need to find plane tickets.  I am now assuming my SIL plans to come, as my MIL would never want to see the newsboys on her own.  I have not responded, as I want to ask if SIL was planning on coming. SIL has not communicated that she plans on heading out here.  As my MIL prioritizes my SIL over her grandkids, I do not want SIL here.  But if I say so I am back to the bad guy?  Advice??[/quote]
