[quote=Anonymous]We live 3 hours from my in-laws, and they expect that we will be there on Thanksgiving, Christmas (after we spend part of the day at our own home), and Easter. My kids are 8 and 10. We've been doing this for the past 3 years (since moving closer to them for work). My family lives a plane ride away and we don't visit them on holidays, mainly because of the more expensive air fare during those times. My in-laws are nice people, but I would like to do Thanksgiving at our house because I would like to cook our own style of Thanksgiving dinner, establish some family traditions for our kids, and have 4 days of down time as a family that long weekend. I would also like to go to their house the day after Christmas, but they really want us there on Christmas day. Am I being unreasonable? I don't want my kids to be grown before we ever have a Thanksgiving day that we host. They are welcome to come to our house for these holidays, they just prefer to do all the holidays at their house.
