[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Just stop it with the idea of having dinner with these folks. Book yourself a nice dinner at a nice restaurant and then bring a pie to the IL's house to share.

+1000.  Absolutely do not email MIL.  If you are telling this accurately, then you would just be feeding the crazy.  Never feed the crazy is the first rule in dealing with crazy inlaws.  I presume you go because H feels like he should have some relatiohsip with family, even crazy as they are, and you would like DC to have some relationship with them.  This is fine.  We all make do with the family we got stuck with.  Don't have the "lord of the flies" dinner though.  Show up when you show up with enough dessert items to feed your own family time two or three (get pies at Costco if you don't want the work of baking).  Bring presents, exchange hugs and presents, go home and be glad that this is not how your kids are growing up.  That's how you deal with crazy and inconsiderate inlaws.[/quote]
