[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't you ask your husband what he wants to do?[/quote]

He said he just wants to be home with the 3 of us.  In general, I am the one that pushes him to make plans with his parents.  He has a good relationship with them but neither side makes plans to see each other - aside from Christmas and Easter and a few other random times throughout the year.  It is very strange to me as I'm very close with my family.  He is always eager to make plans with them - suggesting that we invite cousins over, take my mom to lunch, etc.[/quote]

If this is what he wants, then do it! Don't make him spend time with people--even people he likes--on the day that he tells you he just wants it to be the 3 of you.

If you want to get together with your/his families, do it another day for no reason at all. It's ok not to involve local family in every "special" occasion.[/quote]

I'm just worried that they'll blame me.  In many families the wife initiates plans, plans parties and celebrations, etc.[/quote]
