[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you are already doing a lot right.

Hotel

Meals out.  If she doesn't get there on time, that's fine.  Tell he 6:30 and be prepared for 7.

Three day stays.

Bring snacks for late meals.

Have your own pre Thanksgiving so you aren't upset about the turkey etc.

Send the kids alone for an evening while you guys have a date.

Send Gma and the kids alone to the zoo or whatever.

When the kids are old enough to send alone, do it.

Just tell her all the gory details about your dental work or pap smear or menopause and the time you got your ear wax removed.  Tell her you have a toenail fungus you are really worried about and go on at length.  Repeat like you forgot you already told her.

Just join in praising the other relatives.

ASK for advice on stupid things and ask a LOT of questions like knitting or growing hydrangeas.  Ask about her recipe for the burnt stuffing.

If they get into something where you are going to lash out, grey rock.  BTW what does your spouse say about this?  Are you over reacting or are they really pushing?
