[quote=Anonymous]This issue is between your sil and her parents. They can feel hurt, of course, but it's theirs to manage. You didn't seem open to exploring the dynamics of you mil and fil but that's important here because they are part of the initial conflict with their daughter. If you want to go, go. If you don't, then don't. If they confront your husband he can say, they asked us to go and we accepted. Then they can speak directly to their daughter if they have an issue. It's called boundaries. Parents like this are tedious, siblings often like to do their thing. If they are mature they will keep their hurt to themselves and not cause more pain. If they make a stink...well they are not quite so benevolent, they are childish. Everyone is not invited to everything. That's how it goes. It can hurt but the sooner people realize this the better. These parents are being given a lot of power over their adult children. Daughter probably does want to stick it to them but that's on her . Decide what works for your family and do that. Protecting your in laws is not your job. They are adults. You can empathize of course.[/quote]
