Confrontation and Closure

The specific person I’m thinking of is a relative of a relative and what a piece of work this lady is!

Let’s take for example a simple situation. She won’t come down and visit her ILs unless her husband buys her an expensive present - he has to bribe her, and she won’t invite his family to their home unless it’s “convenient” for her (she never invites them to stay over even though it’s a 4 hour drive although her siblings get an invite to stay over).

Yet, despite the fact that she practices exclusionary tactics, his family is expected to jump when she invites them because they don’t want to be seen as the “rude” or argumentative relatives. At what point should she be called out on her behaviour?

Maybe the family can start to practice some exclusionary tactics of their own?
