[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 562326, member: 3388"] It's wonderful that you have a mother in law who "gets it!" I always loved the holidays until I had difficult children. There were many years I just couldn't wait for them to be over with. No one on either side of our family "got it." My difficult children were always at their difficult child "best" as they just couldn't handle all the excitement, etc... Talk about sensory overload to the max!! I always tried to keep the peace by going along with whatever plans were made. If I had to do it all over again, I would do things totally differently. I would explain to family why we couldn't participate in certain activities, go out to dinner, etc... If they didn't understand, too bad!! I wouldn't worry about your sister in law. As welcometowitsend said, your sister in law still isn't doing the cooking, just going somewhere else to eat. Just my two cents... SFR [/QUOTE]
