[quote=Anonymous]We go to our small ski house every year for Christmas for 3 weeks (me, my husband and our two elementary aged kids). We usually fly my mother in law (divorced) up for 4 nights over the Christmas holiday. She’s a homebody and doesn’t like to go out. She mostly keeps to herself, doesn’t enjoy anything really except staying home and watching sports on tv. Doesn’t enjoy eating either- is very picky and wants like a quesadilla for a holiday dinner. Doesn’t eat most things. I have bent over backwards trying to do special things she would enjoy or book restaurants she may like and it always ends up in disappointment from her. Last year she was disappointed that our tree was small. Keep in mind it’s a second house and it’s a 7’ tree. We don’t go all out with decor like at home but still have plenty. She’s very critical and tough on me. What would you do this year? I told my DH that he should approach her and say “come back and let us know if you want us to get a plane ticket for you” so it’s on her and she doesn’t feel like she needs to come and if she chooses to come it’s a conscious decision. WDYT? [/quote]
