[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm happily married and my in-laws don't see the kids every holiday.  I have parents too.  Their expectations are way out of wack[/quote]

Yea and who TF makes all the good for Thanksgiving dinner.

I’ve hosted but I’ve never made a turkey. I make apps and 1 dish, everybody needs to contribute [/quote]

People with entitled ILs. I’ve hosted mine for thanksgiving for 15 out of 17 years. (Not OP.) and I recognize I have as much of a husband problem as I do an IL problem, though at least he helps me cook, but he enables his parents and extended family to come, sit, eat, drink, and everything else without them doing so much as washing a dish, let alone bringing anything. Not even a bottle of wine as host gift. I also feel the OP’s pain in having a spouse who cannot say no, disappoint his parents, or communicate properly.

And if I ever got divorced and my ILs had the audacity to assume I’d still be hosting a happy blended family and serving them they’d finally get the piece of my mind I’ve restrained myself from giving to them for the last 20 years. The best part would be never having to host them again!![/quote]

I’m just willing to have a dinner with no mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, and dessert if nobody brings them.[/quote]
