Set boundaries. Can you also inform your family directly the date given by your in laws doesnt work for you therefore this party that is supposedly for you will not be happening/you wont be present. If they are broadcasting the time and date in family whatsapp groups put it in there too if needed. Continue to do what you and your little family need/planned. Do not let your in laws break you down. Itâs great to hear your partner has your back even if they arent listening. Together you can lay firm boundaries which will pay off in the long run. Best of luck x
I wouldnât bother trying. Iâd say âlook itâs going to be you whoâs disappointed when you throw a party and Iâm not there. Iâve already let you know the dates Iâll be there and they wonât be changingâ and leave it at that. Itâs not your job to protect their feelings!!

Them not understanding why your job is important is not your problem. You have given them the information you needed too and you don't owe them anymore of an explanation. Your life is your life. They don't have a day in it. They can only bully you if you let them. They have no control over you or your life/decisions
