In laws dilemma around kids

Sarah

Hi, long post here.

But I live with my husband and 3 kids: age 3, 2, and 9 months old. We live in USA and my mother in law is coming to visit in Canada to her daughter house. My family is going to Canada to see her. My mother in law and I share a low contact relationship. But my sisters- in- law, I have 2 they don’t talk to me at all. They have me blocked me on all social media and messaging app. We used WhatsApp.

My husband talks to his sisters on a daily base (Snapchat- pictures/ videos of kids etc) but they don’t talk to me. His one sister has a baby one month older than our 9 months old. I am dreading at how awkward this is going to be as I know they will come visit and want to see our kids. I’ve never met or seen her husband. My husband has met him, talked to him, went over to Canada to visit last year when his mom was here but I was almost due and didn’t go and neither did the toddlers go visit.

I just need any advice on how to go about this adventure of being in the same room with them… it’ll definitely be at the hotel because I refuse to go to her apartment because she doesn’t not talk to me and I will not take my kids there. My husband goes along with it but doesn’t understand my point of view on that.

I know they are going to come and want to take pictures and videos of my kids and I don’t know how I feel about that- I know I should set some boundaries and will talk to my husband about it before we go there.

I’ve seen them text about biological aunt when his sister baby was born ( which I am not - because I married their brother) but his cousins are biological aunts because they are related.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks for reading.
