[quote=Anonymous]My SIL used to have constant dramas over the fact her own divorced and remarried parents (my inlaws) didn't get along and would give jabs to eachother. Her husband's parents wouldn't come to anything so that was a non-issue. She was always calling and back then emailing with sagas about how immature they were and how upsetting it was and her daughter wanted everyone at every event. We gave her suggestions, but none would do.

When we had kids we just accepted they were all immature and petty, but we wanted harmony. It was rare we had an event where they where his mom/step dad and dad/stepmom were invited together. We saw them separately. We saw my parents separately from all of them too. We kept kid's birthday parties for kids, so no grandparents invited. We kept things very peaceful. If anyone complained they didn't see us and the grandkids enough, we kept our boundaries. We refuse to do drama.

SIL remained furious with all of them up until they they passed away. Life is too short for BS. Set your boundaries so you can have peace and connect with them on your terms.[/quote]
