[quote=Anonymous]Don't call her, don't engage, don't give her any more fuel than you need to. Send her a note saying "just to recap, here is what I'm planning for DH's b'day. Please remember this is a surprise and do not spoil it for him. " If she spoils it that is a damn shame but probably won't shock him. After the b'day I'd have a serious heart to heart w/ your husband and tell him he needs to get her in line. We have some serious dysfunction on both sides of our marriage and have a long-standing (and battle tested) policy of handling our own side. My husband handles his family and I handle mine and our primary responsibility is to insulate each other and defend our nuclear family. It has served us well. It's not unlike the approach you take with small kids - both parents have to give the same answer and support whatever the other parent said. Good luck OP. She sounds like a colossal PITA (and probably a seriously unhappy person.)[/quote]
