[quote=Anonymous]I've been there OP, and know it is never as simple as "just don't spend time with them" or "ignore them" - there's always sop much more complexity and repression of emotion when it comes to family dynamics. I've come to the conclusion that I can tell my kids to be on their best behavior and we'll power through this twice-a-year dinner as a team. I've even just thrown in the towel on some occasions and fed the kids first them parked them n front of a show while the adults eat. Who gives a shit? They're happy and my in-laws don't have to ignore/pretend to care about them in the interim. It'll work it's way out -- I just won't allow anyone to make my kids feel badly about them being themselves any way you cut it. [/quote]
