This will be a first.....

In a few weeks, I will be spending the weekend with my parents and my ILs.  I have never done this before but my mom felt it would be appropriate to invite them to our summer home.  I am really nervous because my ILs have volatile relationship and my DH doesn't get along with my MIL, so there is bound to be some sort of drama.  My DH said he will try to be calm and not let my MIL upset him.  My mom is also convinced that my MIL doesn't like me and wants to ask her why despite the fact that I told her she is fine with me.  My mom thinks this is because MIL doesn't say anything positive or negative about me just stays neutral.  Does anyone have any advice for a nice and relaxing weekend?

  • Alcohol and an ipod with headphones. 
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Hope and pray it turns out ok. Smile a lot. Walk away when it gets heated. Go find things to keep you occupied.
  • Fake sick and stay home.

  • Alcohol for you, and pleanty of time away from the drama queens!
  • I think the best thing to do is try to find things to keep everyone occupied.  It seems to me like sitting around with my in laws getting bored is the fastest way to get some drama going.  Obviously they should spend some time together, but I think maybe keeping the two families busy doing things is the best way to go.  And maybe alcohol. Good luck!
  • Your mom is inviting your MIL to her summer house and then will confront her with "why dont you like my daughter?"

    Sounds like a boat load of fun.........NOT!
