At first I thought that was a terrible thing to say and then I discovered how true that statement was. <br />When we did end up living close to family once more, I stood my ground when it came to events, presents, etc. My MIL wasn't happy but she eventually got over it. Wishing you all the best with the family matters.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15918915129013117664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1302317692332537474.post-960186508004101042015-04-07T14:35:39.008-05:002015-04-07T14:35:39.008-05:00👍👍Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309119801878971010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1302317692332537474.post-40320871064181860802015-04-07T08:04:46.868-05:002015-04-07T08:04:46.868-05:00We decided to celebrate alone and not invite anyon...We decided to celebrate alone and not invite anyone. If they show up, they'll have to make do with what we have. If they decide to do something on their own, we will not participate and will either send the boys over after we finish our celebration or we will simply decline and stay home. My husband says we can't depend on his parents for anything. Apparently he has been dealing with this problem for many years and I am the only one of his wives who refuses to get caught up in the drama. My mother NEVER attended any gathering at her in-law's and only now am I understanding why.FreeDragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08500045196989222174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1302317692332537474.post-49652066917312745842015-04-07T07:52:39.667-05:002015-04-07T07:52:39.667-05:00I've been down that road many, many times.
