After a weekend away, I found myself disliking each family individual just a little bit more than I did before. Some for new really trivial reasons, some because I found them hard work socially 20 years ago and still do today.
We don't live near each other, but I feel a bit sad that out of 12 people there's not one that I didn't have to pull myself together to make an effort with.
I am now fully up to speed with what they do, did, want to be, hobbies etc some was repeats of old conversations, some new. No one at all asked me what I do, did or want to do (and I have stuff going on). I was asked about my husband's job.
I'm full of HRT and recently had old friends to stay who I really enjoyed. Just bloody in-law family have left me completely numb inside and they are talking about repeating the whole bloody charade within a few months again.
AIBU to skip the next meet up.
