Re: Visit from MIL and FIL - WWYD?

I wouldn't run away, but I wouldn't be fake nice either. Let them see there is tension and approach him about it. My DH would be really pizzed if I told his parents something like that before he told them, but he would tell them the truth if asked.

Re: Visit from MIL and FIL - WWYD?

I would do the happy face. I don't like being asked, "What's wrong?" etc etc

I can't lie, so I would just leave town until things cool down a bit.Chat Icon

I would grin and bear it, but your ILs are bound to feel the tension regardless of whether or not your speaking for show or not speaking at all. Chat Icon

Absolutely. I agree with this. The last thing you want is the ADDED tension of a big family blowout once your IL's find out about their sons' plans.

Re: Visit from MIL and FIL - WWYD?

I guess i would just try to remain calm. But, I hate to ever bring the IL's into our "disagreements". It never works my MIL always knows when we something is up and usually she is helpful. I can vent and get it all off my chest. So not sure if this is helping you....but i hope you guys can get passed this sooner.

I would not be able to put on a happy face, but I also would not tell them what was going on, I would tell them to talk to their son about it. I would go about my normal stuff and be nice to them, but wouldn't be all nicey nicey with DH and fake. I have a hard time hiding my emotions.
