[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is an ugly, ugly topic. I'd invite them all and let them sort it out. I wouldn't take that burden upon myself. I have a similar situation with my parents and I [b]just invite everyone and they can either decline, work it out amongst themselves to negotiate times, or come and pretend the others don't exist.

Not your drama to take on.[/b] I know it's very hard not to worry about it, but trust me, as an inlaw, saying anything or trying to "talk to them" in advance and tell them to behave, or not inviting someone - it is just going to make you look like the bad guy. Invite all and truly let it go. [/quote]

this.

my in laws are divorced and it's a nightmare. fil is very pleasant to her, but she will barely be in the same room as him. at our wedding she wouldn't stand up with us and my parents when we did the toast. my baby's first bday is coming up. she likes to do separate holidays, separate bday parties, even a separate wedding reception for us.  i've already told my husband- i'm not doing separate bday parties for the baby. one event and one time. if she can't bear to be in the same room as fil, her loss.
