I have no choice obviously. she comes to me and drives me crazy.
my dh doesnt want to go to my parents, my father doesnt want to go to us.
so im stuck with her. I already dealt with pesach. I cant do it again so soon.

I was planning on a family free YT.
She has noone else to go to. Everyone else is dead or crazy (literally)
but she has friends where she lives.

sounds like you are in a real pickle.
why won't dh ever go to your family?
what does she do that drives you so batty?
maybe invite extra company for the meals so there's a buffer between you and mil?

if your husband doesn't want to go to your parents because his mother will have no place to go, can you go to your parents with your MIL? that way you can go and she won't be lonely.

I know this may be a wild idea, but is there someone else nearby who would put her up to sleep and you'd just have her around by day?

It might give you extra space to stay sane, and she functionally gets the same visit.

Were are both the only children who live remotely close to my parents and my inlaws. In the beginning it was a big fight where are we going to end up? whos going to have to spend yontif alone. We figured out that my family would stay by us and we would all eat by them (most meals)
