[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go only as often as you want to go. Visit without expectation of reciprocation.
Offer what you are willing to pay for when you plan the trip. If she cancels, do something else without her. You don’t seem particularly disappointed, so what difference does it make?[/quote]

I am disappointed - it's basically a repeated move by her at this point. She's canceled several trips both free and paid.

I'm thinking about inviting my parents but not sure that the physicality of Disney is good for them at this point. My husband is happy we are going alone.[/quote]

Going forward, I'd only inform her about trips once they're a done deal and you're leaving in a few days' time or something. Why are you oversharing your vacation plans with her in advance and causing MIL to fantasize about accompanying your family? It seems weird, given how you don't seem to care for the woman and your husband is pretty lukewarm on her at best.

Just dial down the visits, the expectations, and the disappointments. You'll probably be a tiny bit happier.[/quote]

She's the one that fantasizes about trips. Alaska, Ireland, etc. None of them were our plans. [/quote]
