[quote=Anonymous]I never had a great relationship with my ex-inlaws, but I still need to deal with them because of my child. They aren't terrible people, but we don't have much in common. They are materialistic, value the appearance of happy/nice over any kind of authentic experience, FIL can be a bully. This year, going into Christmas, I knew that spending time with them would give me more time with my daughter, so I decided to look at spending time with them and having a pleasant time as my gift to them (I did also get them a gift). For me that made everything easier, because it gave me power in the relationship. Instead of feeling like I was being forced to deal with them, it was my choice and I was doing the best job possible. Think of it as a good deed.[/quote]
