[quote=Anonymous]OP I feel your pain. My husband's family is this way and trying to appease everyone made me physically sick. It took a while before we decided they made their choices and we make our own choices. We are not going to go broke and lose our sanity travelling to see everyone as much as they want. Nobody gets along and it's just miserable. More importantly, it took a toll on our kids. So we decided when we have holidays we will invite them all and they either suck it up or don't come. When they try to drag us into the drama we cut it off right there. "That is between you and Larlo. Either come or don't come." We don't accept every invitation to visit them. When they complain we see them even less. It took a load of stress off our marriage and our kids. My daughter asked me if we could just stop dealing with any of them because all they do is yell and say mean things.[/quote]
