"I am so sorry that you are going through such turmoil. What do you think that you can do to make your life easier?" "I know that you are in such pain. What one thing can you do for yourself everyday that will make you happy?"
"Will you help me with......? I love the way you....."
Trust me. I works. Well...most of the time. The worst thing is that you become a hero. At least your husband will think you're a hero.
I have suffered through many a bad holiday with the in laws. The good news is we stopped having holidays very early on. Now that my mil lives with the bil and his wife the mil wants us "together" again. I said that we would be DELIGHTED to come...as a party of 15. They don't want that many Jews in their home. Oh well.....
(I use the above quotes when they come to my home."
