[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I think you need to do more behind the scenes work. Why don't you know your holiday plans 6 months ahead of time? That's not that unusual.

Don't allow Christmas presents to be opened before Christmas morning. Say it's your tradition. Why does your dH need to tell them this?

It really sounds like your DH doesn't like the way YOU do things. He likes his family and wants to go on trips with them and have them over for dinner. He thinks you're the problem and doesn't know how to tell you. He's trying to tell you from his actions that he doesn't agree with you. [/quote]

I can see where you might think that, but he tells me he just doesn't want to make a big deal by saying no to them even when he doesn't want to do what they're asking.  I think you're missing the bigger picture here.  We've gone on plenty of trips together and had plenty of dinners with them that we've all had a hand in planning, so it isn't doing those things that's objectionable.

And, no I don't know what I'm doing for Easter in October.  Maybe if any of us had to travel we might need to make plans, but that's not the case. [/quote]
