[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would do TG dinner with ILs and then head to the party house for the rest of the weekend.[/quote]

Why be miserable for six hours?  Send husband to see his family and he can join you and kids later.[/quote]

Why does OP get to decide for the kids?[/quote]

Because kids don't like the grandparents either.[/quote]

Do you let your kids hang out with their friends on major holidays if they would rather do that? Or do you make the plans?[/quote]
OP and dh already decided together months ago. The kids are excited about the trip with friends. Why should they be robbed of that just because adults are pitching a fit and their dad has no backbone?[/quote]

Because marriage is about compromise. Not just "you do you". Are you married?[/quote]
What are you even talking about? OP and dh made a joint decision. Now dh wants to back out of it so he doesn’t get guilt trips from his mom and dad. He’s not proposing a compromise. He would rather have his wife mad at him than his parents. Why would he rather piss off the person he actually lives with? The answer is pretty obvious: if he has to piss off somebody, he’s going to make it the person/people who will make him less miserable as a result. That’s OP. That tells you a lot about his parents.[/quote]
