[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh.  She started the thread with a vague complaint about being excluded and then when it was clear nobody sympathized with her she came up with a very sympathetic story that is completely at odds with her "generally gets along" narrative and has nothing to do with her original reasons for not wanting the kids to participate.

It's an attempt at rehabilitation-- not real.

If I were OP's in laws I wouldn't want to spend time with her either. She sounds nuts. [/quote]

There are some falsehoods being told here. Story is going off the rails.[/quote]

Well, if she is making this whole thing up I salute her for keeping me intrigued for a couple of days. (Although I did notice that having to hike to a pay phone in the "they left me in the stables" story seems a little weird if this has been going on for only about 10 years--didn't everyone have a cell phone by 2005?)[/quote]

This story happened either right before or right after we had gotten married. I avoided this whole issue from then on. It's only cropped up again bc of the kids ages.

I had to get up the courage to call my husband bc I couldn't believe what had happened and was trying not to get angry at him. The parents weren't there, but a sibling of my husbands was. Relationship has never recovered. I despise them. [/quote]

You despise them? I thought everything was ok other than this one issue? [/quote]

The sibling that was there. Yes, I do. Luckily they do not live anywhere near here, and don't come back at holidays, so the distance makes it easy.  I never mentioned it to his parents. [/quote]

And before anyone asks why, the reason I never mentioned it was I thought it would look petty, and they would have had some bs answer. They wouldn't have actually acknowledged how rude it was. This is the sort of thing people don't understand bc equestrian love to walk-through fields, muddy, raining no matter. Abd truthfully, since i was in good boots and coat for the conditions, it wasnt a bid deal. Two miles doesnt take that long to walk. I waited in the barn longer than it tokm, thunking they woukd come back and be loke, just kidding, hop on.

Part of me was fearful they would have said something outrageous, like, "sorry you had to go to the convenience store to make a call, how gross. "[/quote]
