[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can’t you go over to their place? Just say you can’t host this year and that’s that. Could you make up an excuse about you working certain holidays and can’t host? [/quote]

SILs never host and their houses are not accessible for the parents.ILs are infirmed - their last hosting event was about 20 years ago, in their early 70s.

Yeah, I can make up a story and we could just take off, but then these older  parents don't have a holiday or a birthday, or even a 4th of July. You are probably wondering why I care. Well, their personalities were always the same- it didn't get worse as they aged, but now they are really alone. They can't get out much, and while they had few friends in their heyday,  all of them are dead now. It's when they can see their grandchildren and children.  Unfortunately, they've got this one stupid liberal daughter in law....me! My husband is also- but they don't believe him, actually.  :lol: I had 30 some years to cut them all out, but my husband does love his parents, and when  the kids were young it was great- a whole house full.

Now is not the time for me to say no more, but it hurts more because I am so sad and lonely for what is supposed to be good family days.  My parents are gone, and I miss my own nuclear and extended family. Pulling up my big girl pants.[/quote]

So really, you’re not looking to end this. Please take control of your life. You don’t have to host racist, intolerant a-holes. Tell your husband that you’ve had it and that the whole situation makes you profoundly sad. Say that if he continues to want to host his family he’ll have to do all the work. Stop being such a whiny doormat. [/quote]
