[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your DH is going to need rest time throughout the day no matter what.  I think you are pretty unreasonable, OP, to think that he’s going to be around all day with the kids.

Block schedule your holiday with large breaks, and stay flexible.

I think the cousins tradition is kind of dumb.  Your kids are a bit old to care about or even want to be hanging out with young cousins.  [/quote]

If I had to guess, he’ll probably be good for 2 blocks, some quiet time for stockings and breakfast with just my kids in the a.m., a nice break, a quiet drive, and then reengaging off and on for a couple hours at the gathering.  But if that first visit is super early in the morning, and chaotic, in the way that Christmas with young kids can be, we’ll be more likely to need to bail on the second part.  I want him to be there and enjoy it.  I don’t think that’s selfish.

And I, my kids don’t want to participate in this tradition.  They are clear about what they want.
