Mignonster's Profile

I feel the same pain...although my folks are still together as are my husbands...they live across the great State of Texas from one another. We live in the same city (San Antonio) as my in laws but my folks live 5 hours away in BFE Palestine. This wasn't really as much of an issue until we had our daughter 2 years ago. Getting my parents to make the journey down to SA to visit is hard enough as it is but throw in a holiday party and its nigh impossible (they came last year only because it was my daughter's first xmas and I told them come or don't see her).

My in laws say they understand that we have to split holidays between the clans but honestly I feel my MIL's passive aggressiveness each time we speak of it ("Oh don't worry your sister in law is coming down so it's not like we'll be all alone")....really?!?!....ugh
