[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good luck with two kids and a combined 75k income.  Your I laws clearly have different priorities than you do and can't understand your life choices.  As insane as you think they are, that's how insane they think you are.  Quit trying.[/quote]

Oh, I know their life choices are different. And I wish I could make that much and go to Australia for two weeks! But I also don't lie to other family members about whether I include/invite others, nor do I think my choices are better than theirs. They blatantly lied to MIL about how we never invite them over and how we flake on them constantly. Hence the guilt trip from MIL. I have stopped trying and I don't bother inviting them if their no-show will make a difference. They are still invited to things like birthday parties, casual get togethers, etc.

And there were other nasty things said behind our backs last year too. It'll be a much nicer trip this year without them! (And fwiw, our income is temporary while I finish school. It'll never be what they make, but we don't lack for anything)[/quote]
