[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster here with a genuine question for OP (and other Jews). My DH and his family are Jewish. Can anyone explain to me why ANY invitation or request from my husband's family (MIL, SIL, Grandparents, cousins, etc.) is expected to be met with a YES? NO's are simply unacceptable. My inlaws get bent out of shape anytime they want us to visit them (in NY) and we can't make it. They invite themselves for long stays at our house and get offended when we limit their stay to 5 days or so. Same with SIL - its like if she invites us for brunch we MUST come or we are rude! Where does this mentality come from? Also, the notion that EVERY wedding, bris, bar/bat mitzvah and funeral MUST be attended, no matter the cost/inconvenience/distance, OR how little you know the relative in question. What gives?[/quote] That's not a Jewish thing. That's a "your in-laws" thing. There's nothing in the Tanakh or Talmud requiring perfect attendence.[/quote]
