How to deal with inlaws after a decade?

Unfortunately, I cannot plan too many outings due to kids school.Moreover, this time I have decided to be myself:thumbsup. No running away. As they are coming to stay with us, i have an edge over them. I neither want to dominate or be submissive. I want to be myself.Let them understand ME as what im.

 

I shall keep in mind these points.It was very pacifying to read this.It gave me a courage that 'if you could, then even i will try'.
You have dealt the problem from a neutral view.
Thanks for your detailed reply. I truly appreciate your time.

 

Thanks Rihana. I really need good wishes.You know what,Im a good person at heart. I cannot put up an act. If im angry then Im and if im not then Im really not:bonk.I dont have any conditions that my goodness should win over their cruelty. I just want to be myself.Im tired of telling my dh abt this. Now,my approach is 'good things get noticed by itself '.

As for the updates, i shall surely keep it posted as i have got a lot of positive vibes from this forum.
Everyone here, have a great day!
