My in-laws and I have a very polite relationship. I go to dinner at their house, say please and thank you, and go home. I really have very little in common with them except for their son. I find them to be rude and judgmental and just try to grin and bear dinners over there.
Now they are taking us and my bro-in-law and his girlfriend on a cruise. We pay for the airfare (which is already money i'd rather spend elsewhere $550) and they pay for the cruise. So it is the kind of thing where we kind of have to go, but it means sacrificing a trip to go see my best friend's new baby because we can't afford both. So I'm a bit stressed about the money, about being in my first trimester on a cruise ship, and about being with my in-laws that much. I've never spent more time with them than a long dinner or brunch.
Tips on how to cope?
