Re: Does anyone else feel this way?
I had many of the same feelings when I married my husband. Nothing I did was right. We were expected to spend every holiday with his family. We do not have kids, but my parents had the same right to see us has dh's family.
My MIL was always criticizing me about this and that. I finally figured out she was resentful that my DH married me. He had lived at home and done everything for her and she felt like I had stolen him away.
I finally said to my husband that we either need to spend time with both families on the holiday, or pick one or the other, but not always his family. We decided to spend time with both even though it made for a stressful day for us. Fortunately all of us lived in the same area.
Hang in there! In-laws can really be troubling!
