My ex family always called me and take advantage of me. They need me to drive them there, and take their friends here. I just getting really annoyed by those calls and voice messages in my mailbox. Maybe I am a bit selfish, and not nice since I am man. But I already broke up their daughter, and I trying to move on. I just want to make a clean cut from her and her family too. It is hard for me to be rude, and tell them I don't want to be part of your family anymore. I remember last time, I took them to the mall on a Sunday afternoon, I spent the whole afternoon just roaming with them on the mall, and I couldn't do anything on my own. The whole day just totally wasted. I was tired, and not want to do it anymore. What should I do? They just called me again today, and want me to drive their family to this bus station on Friday night, but I have another job on Friday night which I couldn't miss it. Also, they want me to take them to the shopping mall on next Sunday, which I won't make any promise at all. I probably turn off my cell phone, and not gonna answer it.

You are just going to have to sit them down and tell them nicely. Explain to them that you no longer go with their daughter and that you have another job that demands your time. If they are normal people, they will understand. I understand how you feel. You need to start over without any distractions in the way. If after you explain yourself, they keep on calling, then just don't answer the phone.

It can be hard when you have ex in-laws who want to be involved even after a breakup. I remember my husband's ex inlaws were upset when they were not invited to our wedding. He had no children with her and he wants nothing to do with her or her family. I know its a pain but could you change the phone number?
