[quote=Anonymous]Ugh I don’t know what to do. We had a belated Christmas trip to my parents. My sister, BIL and their three kids had been there for a month already (house renovations) and my two brothers and their families live there and had been in and out. It’s a lot — 4 adult kids, 4 spouses, and 10 grand kids 7 and under. My dad’s father is also sick and my parents are just generally very particular about keeping their home pristine etc. I’m saying all this to set the scene of the chaos there before we even arrived on 12/26 with our 3 kids.

I could tell my mom was spun up already and wish we had just decided to not go. So everyone got in a huge family fight about how each of us discipline our kids. My husband was on a work call during this, but then came down and started trying to defend me. This made it worse and resulted in my mom screaming (not atypical — this has happened to all of us before) at him. We ended up leaving and going to a hotel for the last 24 hours of the trip. We are home now (thank god). My mom is very tough and one of those moms who thinks all of her kids’ spouses weren’t good enough for them. My husband is very upset and claiming he’ll never talk to them again. Yay!

Now my parents and I also aren’t speaking. Any advice on how to navigate? Sigh I feel awful![/quote]
