[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: here’s another example.  They once planned a birthday party for BIL at an outdoor location that was mutually inconvenient for everyone (about 2 hours away from where all of us live).  Not even twenty minutes into it they said it was too cold and left! They just walked away while we were all laughing/calling out in disbelief.  [/quote]

It's not hard to draw the appropriate conclusions, OP. You don't need to put yourself in these situations again, decline. If spouse wants to go, so be it. [/quote]

+1 They are showing you how you what you should do.  Don't hold dinners for them.  Don't go to places your party needs reservations/tickets for - or let them get their own.  Don't extend yourself too much. You can't control for them so stop doing it.  You know what to expect.

My aunt and uncle were this way (although they would never have ditched us like your BIL has).  It drove my mom and grandmother crazy but my aunt and uncle are great people and we really enjoy their company.  We just expect them to be late to everything.  [/quote]
