[quote=Anonymous]I'm feeling stretched a bit thin this year. Just nonstop sicknesses since Thanksgiving (plus a funeral that we drove 30 hours round trip to attend). We're finally not sick. I'm hosting a big Christmas eve and Christmas with my family (who are coming into town just for us, but not staying with us) and several friends. I begged dh to make sure to invite his parents, he wouldn't. Finally he called them last night and asked if they'd like to come. No, of course they don't want to come because it's last minute, they've already made plans, and they want us to come instead.

This happens every.single.year. I've told them previously (because dh doesn't have the guts to) that we aren't traveling on Christmas Eve when the kids believe in Santa. And now they want us to visit, which dh thinks is a great idea! DH wants us to leave tomorrow and come back on Christmas eve. I haven't wrapped any presents, I have packed up the car for a long trip and when will I have time to cook and clean for my own party? Why can't they just come instead?

AITA? I'm so hurt by their refusal to never come see us on Christmas. When my family isn't coming for Christmas, they just mail presents. His just keep asking when we're coming. I'm also very angry at dh for never picking up the phone. Obviously he's more afraid of being a bad son than being a bad husband. [/quote]
