My first entry...but probably not my last one...
Just spent the last two weeks getting ready for my Ss, dil, and 3 kids to visit my husband and me for Christmas. Shopped and wrapped gifts for the kids. Gave S&S and dil cash gifts. They stayed all night at our home for three nights. When opening their gifts, the 11 year old boy claimed that his sisters gifts cost more! (I spent the same on each child.). I have never relieved a card, letter or gift from them. When saying goodbyes tonight, I hugged Ss and said, "I hope you have a Merry Christmas." He looked away from me and did a half turn.. He also calls me the "other woman". I met their father AFTER his wife left HIM. And have the dated emails to prove it!!!! SS and family have gone now and I told hubby I was tired of their behavior. Hubby said to not yell at him--what can hubby do?!?!?!?! I said you can tell them not to treat me that way! I am not talking to hubby now. We never fight about anything, but I am soooooo over this ss's attitude. Thank you in advance for any suggestions. I'm glad I found this site....

Maybe you leave the gift
Maybe you leave the gift arranging up to him in future. And make yourself scarce with a previous commitment so he doesn't rope you in to making food etc. Or suggest DH travels to THEIR place next year for Christmas.
Your DH will not support you until it hurts him.
You'll reach the point soon,
You'll reach the point soon, if you haven't already, that you'll decide to be done with them. Tell DH it's all on him from here on out since, you know, you're just the other woman {{sarcasm}}. I like the suggestion that DH go to their house.
