[quote=Anonymous]I grew up watching my mother do everything around the holidays, 100+ Christmas cards, decorating, hosting large family dinners etc.. SHe shopped for like 50 people, her family, my dad's family, neighbors, teachers, Sunday School etc... as a result, she was always stressed out this time of year. I swore I would never take ALL the holiday responsibility. Early on in my marriage, I told DH that HIS family was HIS responsibility. I would not shop for them, send them cards, plan dinners etc... but I would have wrapping paper and cards on hand if he wanted. As a result, his family gets nothing. I somewhat feel embarrassed but there is no way I am letting this fall on my plate. If they comment, I say something like, "Sorry, Lou never got to sending out cards." We also rarely see them much at all throughout the year as DH never plans anythings with them. (I'm fine with that!!!) Anyone else like this?[/quote]
