[quote=Anonymous] Part of being an adult is that you get to pick what you do. So if you don't want to do this, then don't! It's your choice and no one else's. But, as others have pointed out in their responses, choices have consequences. So my advice to you is think about the consequences of attending this dinner, and think about the consequences of not attending. Which are easier for you to deal with, short term and long term? I can't imagine anything more torturous going to dinner with my in-laws. We couldn't possibly be more different and I'm not sure I could even eat anything during a dinner with them alone. However, if they asked, I would go. Because it's a good example to my kids. Because they're my husband's parents, and even if they are crazy and difficult to deal with, they love him and raised him, and he loves them. Because the fall out for not going would be far, far, far worse than the 90 minutes of discomfort I would experience by going. [/quote]
