[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH gets alternating holidays with his daughter.  The other holidays we spend with my family.  For the past few years, in laws have invited DH's ex wife, who he does not have a good relationship with, and daughter to the holidays that we are with my family.  They don't mention they are doing it in advance, don't discuss with DH, we just end up seeing photos of everyone all together on facebook.  I understand that they want to spend time with their grandchild, but shouldn't the ex be spending time with her side of the family on those holidays (they are local too)?  A quick visit is ok, but to family thanksgiving? And without us?  DH is furious because he has asked his mom in the past not to do this and he thinks it is disrespectful to the two of us.  On the holidays when we do have his dd , they don't invite the ex, or at least haven't up to now, but I can't help but feel slighted in this situation.  MIL doesn't seem to respect DH's wishes.  I know children should come first, but this dynamic is very uncomfortable.[/quote]

You and DH both need to grow up.  That is their grandchild and her mother. They are your ILs' family, too.  DH can divorce her as his wife, but she will always be the mother of his child. That means that she will always be part of the family.

Shut up, suck it up, and keep the peace. [/quote]
