I have the same problems with MIL. My mum is great and if I say my belly is acting up she just tells me to rest but MIL will tell me that if I only get out and get some fresh air I will feel SO much better and have a great time. They also have a holiday house we are obligated to visit (SO embarrassing to have an attack while there is MIL, FIL, DH, all 3 kids, BIL, SIL and a hundred other guests who always seem to be invited at the same time as us. It's so very frustrating to feel obligated to do things you physically aren't able to do. No one without IBS understands just how scary a car trip can be or how miserable a "break away from it all" is when you feel like your insides are falling out. BIG (((HUGS)))). I'm glad it went okay for you.
