[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just feel awful because they mentioned it being expensive to go anywhere for Christmas because of airfare and I didn't say you can come here because they are already coming for thanksgiving. I just don't know what to do? [b]Be stone hearted or keep hosting them all the time?[/b]

They have visited us 4 times this year, traveled to their home state twice this year, gone to Mexico once so its not like they don't have money at all, its just that they get bored often and want to travel every other weekend and buying tickets and accommodation is expensive so driving here is cheaper.

Can anyone spot the false dichotomy?[/quote]

Its a real problem with most family situations, either oblige or feel bad or get labeled as rude for saying no. [/quote]

NP. It’s…rude to label people as rude for setting perfectly reasonable boundaries. If Aunt Gladys thinks I’m rude for doing so, then too bad for her and I don’t engage with consistently rude people. I don’t care to have the good opinion of rude people. Do you?[/quote]
