[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Manage your expectations. Yes, they should be polite and welcoming. (Isn't SIL inviting you being polite and welcoming, though?) They don't need to not have pictures of a family member up--yes, DH's ex-wife is and will always be family, she's the mother of their grandchildren/nieces/nephews! And of course they're going to treat your adult or nearly-grown children differently--it's a different relationship than blood grandchildren/nieces/nephews! [/quote]

An invite isn't necessarily meant as a polite and welcoming gesture.[/quote]

Nice way to approach life![/quote]

Unfortunately that's true. If the SIL didn't speak to the OP at her wedding I can't imagine the invite was welcoming.  OP do not take your children to a place where you know people aren't going to be kind to them. Just don't.  Maybe his family will come around.  What happens this year doesn't have to be forever.  This year the priority needs to be your new family unit. Don't go somewhere it will be undermined. [/quote]
