[quote=Anonymous]I think the important piece of information is that OP says they have historically done this to her. It’s obviously the IL’s are doing what they want and DH won’t stand up to them. So, I say good job, OP! You stayed strong but compromised a bit too. I’ve had this happen with my family (both sides) where their needs are a priority - never mine. For example, MIL would “need” a ride to the airport at 5 am Christmas morning because flights were cheaper and an Uber was too impersonal on Christmas! We finally said that’s not working for us - and she started making more reasonable flight times. We were just very matter-of-fact. It’s not easy to set those boundaries, but it has to happen, and it’s worth the outcome. [/quote]
