[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Dh isn’t super into spending time with his family. I used to really push him, especially after having kids, but then people here told me he would become resentful of me for that, and he was, so I backed down. He’s also in the medical field and works [b]most [/b][u]holidays. We’ve always celebrated with his family the weekend after a holiday, since we’ve been married, and he’s never joined my family holidays because of work—I always attend on the day so that the weekends can be freed up so we can celebrate with Dh and his family. But there has always been jealousy issues with Mil. Unfortunately, I’m not going to sit alone or not attend my family holiday when Dh is working, just so Mil isn’t jealous. It’s not as though I particularly love that we never have a holiday as a family, and it’s not as though I love celebrating holidays twice, but this is our life.

I guess Dd told Mil that last year my sister made her favorite pie for Thanksgiving. Mil huffed under her breath that she never “gets” a holiday. Nope, and neither do we. Talk to your son about his profession. I don’t like that she’s dragging our kids into the mess with her jealousy and snide comments. How do I handle this? Dh doesn’t care, says it is what it is and fully supports the way we do things. But I feel like Mil is attacking me in front of my kids. Ignore or?[/quote]

If he doesn't work ALL holidays, why can't you spend the ones he doesn't work with your in-laws? [/quote]
