[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree this would be a non_issue if we didn't become sick. I posted this because I needed things pit in perspective.

But the truth is I always felt that DHs family members were selfish and thoughtless towards each other. This has always been my biggest issue with them. I feel they put my kids in danger and just don't want to deal with their selfishness anymore.

Unfortunately, the "our own traditions" line won't work _ I am Jewish and DH knows I don't really care about Christmas that much.[/quote]
I'm the 'own traditions poster'.

1) You do not like how they relate to ONE ANOTHER -- so what -- they are allowed to relate one another however they like. You will frustrate yourself, your DH and your marriage by trying to make them be people they are not.

2) Jewish people have holidays around the same time as Christmas. Even if you do not celebrate Christmas, per se, it's still a holiday time/special time of year and can still CHOOSE to start your own traditions.

3) Be very clear with yourself about whether your truly want to figure out how to deal with them or your just want validation that they are wrong. We all want that sometimes, but we can get so blinded by that -- we truly end up dying on a hill that just was not worth it.[/quote]
