[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As one of the posters with in-laws that are demanding of our time, hospitality, and vacations, I can say we make plenty of time for them. We do travel with them and host holidays and give them time alone with the kids. The problem is that it is somehow never enough and there is no recognition of what we give up to do these things for them. There is an attitude of “if you love me, you will do everything I want, when I want it, and I don’t have to consider how it impacts you.” It is the sense of entitlement and lack of consideration for my time, energy, money, or personal family time that makes me hostile.

You have to ignore t, They do it because a) they get away with it and b) it works,they get what they want.

You have to give up any fantasy that they will be understanding about not getting what they want. It’s not your job to constantly please them or frankly to even occasionally please them. Do what YOU want and stop letting them manipulate you. [/quote]
