2 years of ikkiness from my in laws, we have got to a great point with my FIL, amicable with my MIL and still no good with SIL (she was the cause) anyhow FIL wants us to go down (9hr drive with a 3 and a 4yr old) I said that hubby and kids can go ( but I said I have work/study commitments) hubby knows I just don't want to be treated the way they treat me.
But.......if I don't go would I look like a snob, or a spoilt brat, or seen to be drawing out this horrible issue or.......will they be happy I didn't go.
The issue I have with them is their treatment towards me and I don't want to be in a situation where I am made to feel uncomfortable.
It also means I spend Easter alone, as my side of the family are further away.
One hand I would love the me time, but Easter alone seems wrong.
FIL has moved into a new house and wants hubby to help he with some things, so him coming here isn't an option.

I would be so upset to spend Easter anyway from my kids, but I guess some ppl are different. Why not look at this trip as away of trying to nurture and build a good relationship with ur FIL and mil. If the sister is their and starts to act up I would just grab the kids and say we are going for a walk and leave for awhile. They will eventually get that you don't want to be apart of her games and if they let it continue then they will miss out.
