[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand what the issue is here.

you hate visiting them.  Your husband hates visiting them and doesn't think you should visit that often.

[b]So don't visit.  What is the worst that will happen?  They will complain and gripe and....what?  [/b]

It sounds like you do a lot of the communicating.  So don't respond to that part of the emails.  Or say we have other plans for spring break, but I understand we'll see you this summer.  Just don't engage.  [/quote]

This.  I never understand people who say that their parents make them do something.  You are an adult.  They can't make you do anything.  Sure, they can complain and say mean things and try to guilt trip or just generally be obnoxious, but so what?  If you and your husband are on the same page here, then there's no issue.  You don't visit.  You don't explain to them why you're not visiting, you just politely but firmly state that you have other plans for vacation this year.  And you don't share the specific dates with them.

And if you do visit, you stay in a hotel.  Again, who cares if they complain?  [/quote]
