Hi everyone
I'll try and keep this brief. I'm going out for dinner tonight with DH and his parents. My MIL has recently discovered that my two siblings have not spoken to each other for 2 years and she is desperate to know the details. I don't want to talk about it with her. I've shut her down about it a couple of times (and DH has backed me up) but we've always had the kids around as a distraction so I think she will use tonight where we are on our own with them to grill me and I won't have an escape!
I can be quite binary ie either too polite and not clear enough, or way too assertive (and rude?). She is easily offended. So what's a good way to say please can we not talk about it?
