[quote=Anonymous]As a South Asian, this is not an unusual situation. I am surprised this is new to you as you have been married for quite a long time. Although, I can't imagine my family hosting a gathering for my caucasian husband and our children without me. I see no reason why you cannot kindly tell you IL's that you would like to meet their friends/children, but would like to wait until your next visit with your husband. He needs to step up - it is his family! And I concur that the community is integral in your ILs lives - like their family, and the community/friends will indeed be helping care for them as they age, so it behooves you and your husband to get to know them and stay in touch if for no other reason than self interest in the future. And enjoy - I'm an introvert too, but SA parties are big, which I think is actually easier for an introvert. You have the excuse of caring for your young kids to take frequent breaks - which so much going on, your absence will not be noted.
