OP,

Don't feel any guilt over this.

You did your best.

Now it's in their hands. BIL and SIL can go on being huffy or they can try to see the writing on the wall. I think your husband should help his brother, not you trying to help SIL, who seems deranged. Your husband should reiterate that the boys are NOT invited because they have demonstrated unequivocally in the past that they ruin every occasion. That there are parenting classes, psychological evaluations and behavior modification plans for that sort of thing. That this is a serious issue which BIL needs to address in one way or another, since it is already impacting their lives in a very negative way.[/quote]

Thank you. I am pretty sure that is what my husband spelled out to his brother once he calmed down.

I know its hard to get the whole story here and that is why some people are reacting so negatively. We did everything to include these boys and welcome his new wife. No one cares what they eat, its just that they melt down if they can't eat it - which sometimes they can't. No one cares if all they want to do is play video games, its just they are so loud and obnoxious about it no one can enjoy themselves. Let alone if you ask them to stop and maybe participate with the family.[/quote]
