[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't force people who actively dislike each other into extra social situations, but I also don't understand PPs who want to keep the two sides of the family apart. I want to get to know my son in law better, so spending time with his parents/family occasionally is important. These people share grandchildren with you for goodness sake. Their genes and yours![/quote] But at some point, don't you know someone well enough to know you don't enjoy their company? My sister's been married for 25 years and my BIL is a tool. I don't shun him, but I don't seek him out, either. I think it's reasonable for OP's MIL not to want to see OP's parents, and OP should make reasonable accommodations of that preference. But her MIL needs to do her part by not visiting for more than a few days and by not trying to monopolize family time over the holidays. [/quote]
