I appreciate your response😊 In-laws transferred to Tucson due to job relocation 5 yrs ago. They are from VA and have family there so they do travel to VA 3-4 times a year to visit. So my daughter does see them often that is why I feel like she is favoring them more. Our daughter is as an outdoor enthusiast as are we…hiking, Pball, golf, etc whereas in-laws are not. More of going to sports bars and drinking something they all enjoy often while we enjoy it occasionally. We had planned on spending Christmas together in Palm Springs at our cost because she doesn’t want to spend the holiday in Phoenix. But I’m beginning to feel like they will only hang around us if we pick up the tab. So I’m seriously considering canceling the trip and enjoy Christmas staying home.

@machelle I’d cancel the trip. Enjoy Christmas at home - less stress!

@machelle it can be frustrating to deal with adult children ‘s decisions about family time. My opinion is that you should tell her how you feel and let it sink in. If the situation doesn’t improve, there really isn’t much you can do. Hope that time and a reminder now and then will change the behavior. Hard, but enjoy your life and friends in the meantime. Wishing you happiness!
