[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We declined the beach trip with the in-laws.  Then we would have felt too badly about booking a separate beach trip so I never saw a grain of sand all summer.  The in-laws came to us and it stunk.  We tried to stay busy doing DC touristy stuff, but it was equally bad if not worse hosting them here than at the beach. I probably spent more on food and entertainment here than if we had rented a beach house too.  I posted on one of the beach trip threads how everyone would be perfectly nice to my face at the beach, and then DH received an emailed list of grievances the day we got home.  There were line-items complaining about our infant, toddler and me - ofcourse none about DH or any of the other young cousins. We didn't get an email this year, but I think they aired their grievances plenty while they were here.  I honestly don't know what the answer is, but I can't spend time and money to get back grief anymore.  I don't think they realize how hard I've tried to be part of their family and do things the way they want, and I'm sick of it and frankly very hurt.  DH thinks their jerks, but not bad enough to cut them out of his life, and still wants them to see their grandkids, which involves me.  [/quote]

Send DH and the kids to them for the occasional long weekend, and for the love of God go to the beach with your nuclear family next summer![/quote]
