Just hours away from Family Vacay!

And I can not wait to hit the road!!!! It has been a stressful month at work and a stressful few days with MIL butting in the middle of DH and SD14. We have been spending the weekend prepping and packing for our week long trip to Florida so I have not had time for any extra dramatics. I'm sure MIL was not happy to learn that her guilt trip/ pressure on DH did not work. She made plans for him to drive 3 hours ( 6 total) with SIL this weekend to see sD14 play volleyball. He declined because the tires on our needed to be rotated this weekend and oil change needed to be done. DH was able to watch her play via live streaming so it was not a totally miss . mIL was hitting up DH this afternoon to ask if we left yet and I'm sure to guilt him for not last minute trying to see if SD14 could come with us but he ignored her, I'm sure MIL, SIL and DH niece will yet again be planning a solo trip for SD as they always do. I am soooooo looking forward to our trip and I'm super excited to be able Spend time with my sister, niece and nephews!

You know, Hon, the

You know, Hon, the breathtaking hypocrisy of some of these steps-in-law is enough to make one gasp in disbelief. To exclude your children from the vacations to which they treat SD, then pressure your DH to include your SD (despite the fact that the trip's on your sister's dime) in the one getaway that you and yours have been invited to, is ludicrous.

Please empty your mind of all the game-playing, passive-aggressive bull and have a grand old time! You certainly deserve it.

Start buryng them in counter

Start buryng them in counter guilt. "Oh it is great taht youa re taking all of your GKs on a trip. I told our kids and they are all so excited." No more ignoring your kids in full catering to SD. Make MIL and SIL tell your kids that they don't matter and that SD is going and they are not.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

My parents included all of their GKs in trips, etc. Though when my niece was on a school trip mom and took their three GSs on a summer RV trip. The kids all still talk about it. Other trips had all four GKs along.

I do not get the worship towards SD and the total rejection of your kids. They all have the same father so this is just low character low class crap brom MIL and your SIL.

End them. Go for their throats, and do not tolerate their crap. Make sure that they know full well that you are baring their asses and make sure your DH knows he has no choice but to take them out while partnering with you. His toleration of this crap from his own family makes him fully complicit in it all with his mother and his sister. That he did nto let them guilt him on this particular trip is great. Time for you and him to end them together.

IMHO.
