[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So Op do you ever celebrate thanksgiving with your own family? it sounds like you do from your last sentence.

I am not sure why you would celebrate with your family but then get upset with DH for wanting to celebrate with his family. Or maybe I am missing something.

I am with your DH. I think thanksgiving is a time to be with other and particularly family. Just DH, me and the kids at thanksgiving would be kind of like any other day. I love getting together with family and think those relationships are important ones.

If you stayed in town and did Thanksgiving your way last year then this year it would make sense that you do what DH wants. Maybe alternate years, or if spending it with others isn't important to you, then [b]have DH take the kids and go to his family's place and you can enjoy your holiday free solitude[/b].[/quote]

Not the OP, but this sounds. Amazing. I love being with family for holidays, but mine are out of state and so is the family of my DH. However, his are much closer about 5 hours away. I don't mind them, but they are the worst to be around. I dread it. My MIL is batshit crazy. My BIL and SIL never comes see them...to give you an idea. I still want my kids to be involved though. Even though I can't stand MIL and know she doesn't care for me, I would be willing to 'suck it up' for the kids....but then they always EXPECT us to come and demand we do things their way. Yeah, not so much....

We stayed home last year and when I did go visit my family with DH, his family drove down to crash in as well. God forbid they weren't involved in something. PP, maybe you are onto something...[/quote]
