[quote=Anonymous][quote]Ok, then, see bolded point. I mean, if the question is how OP can make BIL and SIL feel ok about the fact that she said that the kids are brats and she doesn't want them at the party, that's pretty ridiculous, regardless of whether her feelings about the kids are valid.

I think BIL and SIL are well aware that these kids are brats, they didn't need to be told.

I also really disagree with you here. I think OP has stressed how she has walked on eggshells to the point of being stressed out about it. That everyone else has washed their hands of the situation and she is left dealing with it. There was seriously no win here. They come = party ruined. None invited = drama caused. I think she hoped by as she put it "gently" talking to her SIL and saying they would likely not enjoy themselves was the best she could try to do. Still it backfired.[/quote]

No, we don't disagree at all.  You just misunderstood what I said.  It doesn't matter how nicely she says it, they're not going to feel good about hearing it, and that was to be expected.  [/quote]
