[quote=Anonymous]I’m starting to see what’s going on. It sounds like you’re really frustrated with SIL and BIL and this party for your MIL is the proverbial straw that broke the camels back. I agree with everyone else that you shouldn’t skip out on the birthday party. However, it’s okay to set some boundaries: Example: If everyone is going to stay at your house, ask that each family “host” dinner at a restaurant during the birthday weekend. That way it’s not all on you to do everything. Have a list of MILs favorite restaurants in your city that they can choose from. Another option is to make SIL and BIL stay in a hotel. Keep it short ad simple. “It won’t work for us to host so many people at our house so you’ll need to stay at a hotel.” If they complain, you repeat, it won’t work for us. No long explanation or negotiations. You can say no.[/quote]
