[quote=Anonymous]I think I'd just adjust my approach. Decide what you can reasonably do for each person (roughly how often you visit or talk on the phone). And then make that happen. The next step is to NOT explain to them that's what you're doing. You just make yourself unavailable, miss the call, etc. The key is to NOT argue with them about this. Just stop making it all happen. BIL can't argue with you about the trip if you are kind and clear "oh BIL, this vacation is just for our family, but DH is very excited see you at XYZ family function that is already planned". Now, if you DH isn't on the same page as you, you have a DH problem, not an in-law problem. So start there.[/quote]
