[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fact is, the wife is always the scapegoat when it comes to the husband's side of the family and vice versa. That's just how it is most of the time. [/quote] I nipped that dynamic in the bud with my husband and ILs. I called it out for what it was, and said I wouldn't participate in that unfair dynamic. He manages all planning and logistics with them, period. If they try to make plans with me, I immediately pass on the phone or forward the e-mail/text, letting them know that I have forwarded the e-mail/text, saying that their son will get back to them.[/quote] Just do this OP. I have the big job in the family with more travel yet still manage my side of the family. My husband does this for his. I am sure your DH can pick up his side if the family. They’ll learn. [/quote]
