[quote=Anonymous]It does seem unfortunate that your FIL gets the benefit of having the kids there for Christmas morning and your MIL always misses that. Not saying it's your fault, but it's unfortunate. Is there a time when you envision staying home for Christmas instead of traveling? I think the fact that your husband travels 3-4 days a week, which means he'll be gone half of her visit, makes this a nonstarter. Suggest that she plan to come for the week next Thanksgiving and let her know you understand that she needs the trip with her friends to de-stress (her anger may come in part from guilt over preferring to go away with her friends that weekend, so "give her permission"). Also, why are you the one corresponding with her when you have to tell her that her proposed visit is inconvenient? That should have come from her son. [/quote]
