[quote=Anonymous]My in laws sound similar. I think there are a few things to keep in mind. First, the spouse with the horrible parents ALWAYS downplays how terrible it is to spend time with their parents because they are, to a certain extent, habituated through childhood to tolerate it. Like do your parents have other relationships with other people? Or are they like mine where they have just a trail of friends and family who has grown tired of their crap? If the latter then you probably are not being honest with how exhausting and toxic they are. Second, you should not leave your kids alone with them. That’s crazy. Third, I personally think your spouse should suck it up and go as a kindness to you. Although definitely not more frequently than once a year on the high end. But have you ever asked him why he won’t?[/quote]
