[quote=Anonymous] I take it you were invited for Thanksgiving Day, and I would continue to do that holiday with BIL and SIL in the name of family time with DH's family. However, no way would I ever start a tradition of dragging the children there for Christmas. If DH's parents ask, tell them you would like to have them join you for Christmas or alternate with BIL/SIL, but not go to their home as it is not fair for the children. And if you need to travel for Thanksgiving and stay at DH's parents home, then I guess you might consider a shorter stay or getting a hotel room. Also have you ever tired to develop an outing that all might enjoy as part of the Thanksgiving weekend such as to go on a walk/hike after dinner or go to a movie? If parents are older, your DH and BIL might take it as time to get out and rake up any fall leaves or do other tasks to help their parents get ready for winter. You and SIL should, of course, just go in and do the dishes for MIL. [/quote]
