[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, so it sounds like your feelings are hurt and now you want to cut off your kids from your in-laws. So that is a very different kind of question. In general I find that lashing out at in-laws is a terrible, terrible idea that causes infinitely more problems than it resolves. By all means, don't say yes to every outing, but cutting them off completely sounds like a petty and spiteful move on your part.[/quote]

OP here.

No hurt feelings: this is not a central thing for me. Do I have nice memories from a decade of my childhood involving sweet relatives? Yes.

I am not spiteful or petty. In fact my post centers more on the fact I find their behavior to be, and I have taken several years to even consider responding. [/quote]

Unfortunately, after several years the behavior is entrenched, so responding now with a letter or whatever you were thinking of doing seems really, really odd and is likely to cause drama and discomfort for everyone.

Stick with your plan of doing the beloved hobby with your children and making your own memories. Let the in-laws build their memories with your kids, too. [/quote]
