To expect my FIL to reply to my emails, and not forward them onto DH?

[TheDevilWearsPrimark]

I am getting seriously angry about this.

It's a long story but we are being pressured by him to go to his holiday home this summer and stay with him and his hideous wife.

We politely declined, then got bombarded with emails offering cheap flights, then we recieved plane tickets in the post!

Perhaps I am an ungrateful cow to decline a free holiday, but our holidays are few and far between and I'd rather not sped it with them.

They were mega cheap flights, £15 each but why would he just book when we said we don't want to go?

Anyway, I sent him a rather shirty email, where I was perhaps a little mean, and he responded in kind, now I have tried to email him but he just forwards the emails to DH and doesn't reply.

Wtf do I do? It's making me even more angry.

TBH, I would let your DH deal with it - his Dad, his problem.

He can't force you to go on holiday (unless he bundles you up and puts you in his suitcase in which case you'd have something more serious to worry about )

DH is a wimpy ass though and is leaving it for me to deal with as he 'has soooo much on at the moment'

Just leave well alone, he sounds very annoying. I would give him a dose of his own medicine. How very childish and selfish he sounds... Enjoy your precious holidays without them

You need to talk to him in person and not over email.

I'd leave it.

FIL and DH are both being a bit crap about it. Ball's out of your court imo.

I would ring him but I'd be worried I may get verbal diarrhea and say something I'll regret.

He has invited a few family members who are all going, so we look like 'the baddies' who just can't be bothered (somewhat true)

Then get DH to ring him. It will only take 5 minutes.

Okay, DH has agreed to call him.

I'm still angry. They are both acting like children over the whole thing.

Wtf would he just forward my emails to DH with no response?

Maybe he wanted your DH to know what you were saying - perhaps he thinks it is just you who doesn't want to go and that if your DH only knew....

It's all very ridiculous isn't it. They are like two peas in a pod. Childish, ignorant, selfish and weak. Weak I tells yah.

Ah that was cathartic.
