[quote=Anonymous]Similar issue with MIL. She asked to come that weekend. We are all Jewish. DS has a birthday party on Saturday and he's going. We also have plans to go to synagogue on Monday morning and MIL isn't observant and doesn't want to go. DS started Hebrew school last year and we're trying to get him more involved in holidays and traditions. MIL will say things to DS like "Ohh, you don't want to go to services! That's boring! Stay here and play with Grandma instead!". Then we'll have to convince DS that he's going, when he was previously excited about going before MIL tried to convince him otherwise. It's also DS's own birthday weekend and he had made plans to celebrate with some friends, but MIL doesn't understand why he's not content with just celebrating with her. Basically she's not happy unless we cancel all plans just to sit around and stare at each other.

We told her we already have set plans for that weekend and that we're not changing them. She said OK just to get us to allow her to come, but once she's here she'll start whining about how DS isn't around every second to spend time with her. When this happens DH is on board with me at the time, but then months pass by and she manages to guilt trip DH into having her come here again just to pull the same stunts. [/quote]
