Carolyn Hax: How to deal with sister-in-law’s pressure for big family ski trips
And it got the muzzle-swat even though it isn’t your actual problem.
The actual problems are: your contempt for your sister-in-law, your husband’s low exasperation point with his family, your different tastes in vacations, their preferred price points , your physical risk aversion, their poor taking-no-for-an-answer skills, and your poor no-saying skills.In an effusive mood, you can add: “But if you decide on something different, let us know, otherwise we’ll see you next time.”Done.
Skiing has its privilege issues, yes. Undeniably. But any winter sport will be 1. expensive, thanks to the gear; and 2. fun even for some people who aren’t jackholes. There are ways to economize. And plenty of rational people are both fine with recreational risk and fine with your not taking one. And snowy vistas are glorious. And you can injure yourself on your sidewalk.
Again: Don’t want to ski? Then say so kindly, ignoring pushback. “Not our thing” does all the explaining you need.
