[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s DH family’s turn this year. It’s a long story but DH is sort of on the outs with his his mother—they’ve never particularly gotten along well, had a disagreement over summer, and it’s been awkward since. DH has said he’s already loathing going over there for TG. I told him we don’t have to, but he insists we do so his mom doesn’t get upset.

I[b] already know how it’ll be: DH will complain all next week about how he doesn’t want to go. He will be in a crap mood all morning Thursday. He will prop himself on the couch and make me carry every conversation. Maybe someone will have a political argument. Then he will complain the whole way home, vowing to skip it in two years.

Are there words I can use to convince him that it’s OK to skip it and just do something as a nuclear family? Or am I doomed to suffer along side him because he refuses to set boundaries?[/quote][/b]

Just show him this post.  Hes being juvenile.  adult relationships with parents can be difficult.  You gain nothing by posting here.[/quote]
