[quote=Anonymous]I completely understand how you would want to do a 5 day retreat instead of host your in laws AND throw a party for them. I personally would prefer a 5 day yoga treat any day, take my money! However, the adult thing to do would be to be firm and polite. Tell them what your boundaries are, either you will host them or not and you will not throw the birthday party. “Hi SIL, we can’t host the party this year but here’s a great local restaurant/venue/location for MIL’s birthday party.” You don’t owe anyone your house. It’s your house and that’s the benefit of being an adult is that you don’t have to say yes to everything. The downside is you to have to communicate those concerns rather than avoid all together. Which I totally understand, I’m very avoidant myself especially with my IL’s.[/quote]
