[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you don't HAVE to do anything. It it is fair to say you don't have the bandwidth to host large groups. But every time you chime in you sound to me kind of, well, bratty.  "MY daddy, I'll never care about these STRANGERS, whiiiiine."  Everyone is a stranger until you know them. His wife is his wife and he obviously wants the two of you to have a relationship.  Please consider opening your heart a bit.  You're life may be fuller for it. [/quote]

First, OP doesn't mind if the wife comes.  She minds that the wife's adult children and grandchildren may come.

And OP DOES know them, and she knows she doesn't enjoy their company.  I don't get the forcible closeness. It's perfectly fine not to want to have a relationship with someone.[/quote]

I said it was ok to say she didn't have the bandwidth to host the whole group. But her overall tone is snotty and bratty. I'm the poster from 8:33 and am a total introvert. I get it. But my life improved measurably when I opened my heart to the people my MIL loves. All of you supporting her are technically right, I guess, but where does that leave her? Nowhere because her dad isn't going to pick her. [/quote]
