[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am sorry that you are having such a rough time this year. My suggestion would be that you reach out to your in-laws yourself. Yes, in an ideal world, your husband should be the one handling this, but if he won’t, for your peace of mind, I think you should call them yourself. Let them know how much you all are looking forward to spending time with them this Christmas. But also tell them that it will likely be your mom’s last Christmas and that this is going to be a very tough Christmas for you. That you are excited about them spending time with the family, especially the kids who will be home from college, but that you need to plan some downtime for yourself as well. As such, you would love to have them visit from (insert dates….5 days only). If there is pushback, let the. Know that you wish their so. Had let them know earlier and that you are sorry if this changes their plans, but that you need time for yourself with just your kids and husband. Do not ask if this is okay? Do not be open to negotiation. Just politely state that this year is hard for You and this is what you need to have happen.  Then, make the most of their 5 days … if you need to run out to the store periodically for a little break, do it. Best of luck. I’m sending you hugs. [/quote]
