Planned to do Christmas w/ ILs, but we are no longer invited

KG, you know I have my fair share of IL's tales.
As of right now, I am not talking to them. DH can visit them or have them over when I am not around, but I want nothing to do with them. I could do that because I am not dependent on them nor need anything from them, so they can't manipulate me. DH on the other hand is easily manipulated, because they will danger the carrots in front of him to pitch him against me.

When we told my sil that I was pregnant with my first child and that it was a girl, she went to my mil house and stayed there for three days, crying the whole time that she would no longer be the princess in the family. She was 29 and had a husband and two kids at home. wtf.

:huggy: break the bridge! don't let the Balrog across!

We told SIL I am pregnant with our first kid. We sent it in a card because neither of us can stand talking to her. She has not replied in any way or said one word about it. Because it's not all about her. I'd be pissed if I didn't already know this is who she is. Now I just :lol: at her self-absorbed ****.

My in laws live 5 minutes away and we(esp DH) see them too much! But they still whine they have not seen us for.....a week..!

They are not bad people though, they are very caring, ...too much...can be suffocating. Some may think I don't know how lucky I am. But, do you really want in laws who call/leave msgs several times a day to update you about the snow storm and to tell you to be careful about driving around? (Ironically, calling while I am driving around is really going to help?!) DH thinks caring people do that. But, what can they do? Come over to weather the storm for us?:ranting:

Wow I your life mirrors mine. MIL is way too caring in our business all the time. There are days when I want to take the phone off the hook because she calls all day long. Leave us alone we are grown adults we don't need your bs in our lives. She is so jealous that I'm close to my mom that makes her even more krazy.

I can't stand my SIL she is not welcomed into our house and I don't even feel bad about that.
