[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op - I’m surprised by those who say I should just tell parents in law their times don’t work for me - feels so rude no? I can’t imagine dh having that direct a conversation w my parents. I have tried to get dh to address it but he doesn’t want to. Generally my ILs are pretty inflexible and also live over an hours drive away so it’s always stressful. I have no idea why plans are not more collaborative but they don’t seek our input and it does not seem welcome![/quote] I don’t think it’s rude at all to say that you can’t make it at 3, but 5 would work (or whatever time you prefer). If they say no, then say ok - another time then. Keep it light and nice and warm. Keep doing that until you get a yes. No need to make this a bigger deal than it is. No need to keep doing things that don’t work for your family. And while it would be nice if your DH dealt with it, it doesn’t sound like he will, so you must. [/quote] this [/quote]
