If your ILs are as difficult as you say they are, then it might be a good idea to develop a strategy for the holidays that will minimize unpleasantness. You're stressed enough as it is, and you need to be kind to yourself. I hope things work out for you.[/quote]

Agreed. You say your husband has had to address his parents about things in the past. For this holiday, you need to let him know that you're feeling raw about your job loss, and that you need him to back you up. Ask that he step in on your behalf if the in-laws are being rude. And if the comments start, you can do your part in letting them know this isn't a subject for joking about.

If your husband supports you as you request, you're good. If not, then take this to the relationship forum.

(And it's true that like it or not, this is the family you married into. If your husband sides with them, that's really important info for you. PPs are right that you'd want to work through issues with your DH and his family before you ever had kids…)[/quote]
