[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's ok to visit them less. Spending less time with their children and grandchildren is the choice that they made when they got divorced. You cannot wear yourself out trying to compensate for their choices.[/quote] Thank you. I feel like you understand.[/quote] I sure do. I even rather like my in-laws, but the winter holiday season gives me anxiety starting in October. The one-two punch of Thanksgiving and Christmas, the stress, the expense, the cold dark airport parking garages, the weather delays... it sucks and I hate it. This year it is probably too late to change plans, but in the future, see if one set of relatives would be ok with a longer visit on a different holiday. For example, 4th of July can actually be really fun with kids. You need to sit your DH down after the holidays and have a calm, problem-solving conversation where you find a solution that works for both of you.[/quote]
