[quote=Anonymous]Ugh OP, this is a crummy dynamic you're having to deal with. If you can afford it I would suggest taking the highest road and just saying no thank you. I liked the little suggested script a pp made for that conversation and for follow-up ways your husband can deal with it, and I definitely think the burden of dealing with this falls to him. It took my husband and I a while to figure out how to manage all of our in-law dynamics but one of our baseline rules is "I deal with mine and you deal with yours". It has minimized them attempting to play one off the other (which they tried), allowed the spouse w/ all the experience in that family to manage it the way they see fit, and also communicated that we are a team. Good luck. I'm glad you can be in the position to graciously refuse the crudely managed offer. I hope time improves their interpersonal skills.[/quote]
