Marriage counseling, stat. His parents are not the problem. The fact that his response to their saying "don't bring your wife" was "now I will try and trick my wife into not coming and pretend that I'm doing her a favor" is the problem. [/quote]

This.  I think if he had been honest from the start it wouldn't have been a big deal.  I also think he should have asked you what you think and if you think it's a good idea.

Chances are you probably would have said, okay, that works for me too![/quote]

If he had told Op from the get go that his parents didn't want her there (Op should go see her own family)......DCUM would be having a field day with that - telling Op how awful her husband was to be so blunt and to even consider such an arrangement. Poor Op!

But Op knows that his family doesn't like her.  Op's dh was trying to be tactful.  And when Op asked for him to level with her he told the truth - they would rather she not come.

It's a difficult and unfortunate situation.  Op isn't clear on why her husband's family doesn't like her (has she given them a reason or have they always been jerks towards her?).  At any rate, I would personally rather just stay at home and celebrate with my dh and kids.  Start our own traditions.
