[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seeking advice here…

Me: DW of 15 years, small kids, job, neutral to positive relationship with in-laws.

My husband: same boat as me, less close with his own side of the family than I am with my side, but no ill will or issues with his side.

Issue: My plate is full and I am managing summer plans with my side of the family. I am more than happy to participate in summer plans with his side but do not have desire or capacity to run point on plans with his side. I have successfully avoided being the point of contact with his side but the problem is that neither he nor his side are being proactive about planning.

I’ve asked husband multiple times to please nail down plans with his side. He’s done nothing.

Am I in the wrong for letting it lie? I really do not want to initiate plans with my I laws but worry that if plans don’t come together soon we’ll miss the boat on getting together - or be boxed into an inconvenient plan.

Just skip it this year. Tell the truth, there is no shame in that.[/quote]
