[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 477244, member: 11847"] I completely understand your dilemma. I would say your decision of going or not really depends on the kind of LONG TERN relationship you want with your in-laws. If you don't care to see them much in the future, then don't go. If you want to keep in touch and enjoy each other company, than you need to go and stand your ground. Just like your husband suggested: sister in law will have NO say. Of course, it might mean an explosion, but you can also let her see the "real difficult child". Let him go into full blown tantyrum and let her experience some of it. I had to do that with my own parents. It was SUPER hard to do (for me and difficult child), but I believe it was for the greater good. They don't deny anymore that something is really wrong. There is no more talk about me being just stressed and tired (which I am of course, but they see it as the consequence of difficult child's behavior, not the cause of his behavior). If you are that stressed over it, maybe let your husband handle it. Try to make a plan A (B, C?) with him. Last thing don't mention anything about her daughter's weight! A point might come where it would be tempting, but really would only make things worst! Tough decision, hopefully more will come and give some advice. [/QUOTE]
