[quote=Anonymous]I know it’s hard but you have to change things if you don’t want to dread every holiday and/or be miserable every holiday for your kids’ whole childhoods. You need to tell your DH that from now on you will be alternating holidays (next year do Thanksgiving w MIL, Christmas w your parents) and tell MIL the new plan early on like tell her NOW what you’ll be doing Christmas 2024 so she has time to prepare. She will probably not like it. She’ll probably get her feelings hurt. But it’s either that or continue dreading holidays and being miserable every holiday from here on out. Your kids are only little once and you only get so many holidays with them home. I’d personally not choose to ruin that for myself and my kids.[/quote]
