thinks that i should attend their family's events without DH ...

i say hell's no.

even DH agrees it'd be stupid for me to attend their events without him (eg: if he's sick or whatnot and can't go)

oh, and when i say 'events', i mean birthday parties and other such celebrations.

so how bout you guys?

Yeah I've gone to Passover with his family when he had to work.

DEF NOT but we don't usually make each other go to things and his family is WAY too annoying and I can't say things to them that i would want to. Without DH there, I wouldn't have my buffer and I might slip!

Re: DH's mother ...

Yep and I have many times. I would of course never see my MIL without him but my FIL's side, definitely!

Re: DH's mother ...

Yep, I'd go.
I've known DHs family for 11 years now if he was sick or got stuck working & couldn't make an event I would go without him. I am sure he would do the same if my family had an event as well.

Re: DH's mother ...

if DH's little sister is going, then I'd go.

I don't think there's a rule. It would ideally be nice to be like real family with them, but if they make you uncomfortable don't go.

yeah - i was just asking for fun ... not because i wanted to know if i'm right or not (i wouldn't go alone regardless)

Re: DH's mother ...

On the whole - no, I wouldn't go with out him..

The only exception would be like next week his nephew is in a play - DH is working but I'm going to see it...

Re: DH's mother ...

depends what it is. I went to his sister's baby shower, I wont go to bday's tho its just weird being in a couple and going w/o each other
but if MIL invites me to something just for girls I would def go
