[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m saying this for others since it looks like you missed the boat on this:

The easiest time to change the hosting dynamic is after your first child is born. Stay home that year for Christmas and Thanksgiving.

After that if you do go to family for holidays it becomes a treat, a bonus visit, something special that you’re doing. Otherwise you get stuck in the dynamic where if you stay home one year, you’re taking something away from the grandparents or depriving them of something they’re entitled to. Also, if you never take a break after your kids are born they will never appreciate how much work and effort you’re putting into traveling to them.

From someone that missed the boat- I 100% agree. [/quote]

They should put this advice in "what to expect when you're expecting"! For us I think it will have to be "now that we have two kids, we stay home for holidays" as the rule. wish me luck. [/quote]

Same here. We're trying it this year with 2 kids. I'm sure it will go over like a lead balloon. [/quote]
