[quote=Anonymous]The best solution is for OP to talk to her brother and ask him to decline. It’s more important for the three young adults to see their grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. OPs brother can take new wife and step kids to visit grandparents on a separate trip.

If I was the host, I would simply call him and tell him that I can’t invite him with the current situation. I’d try to arrange another time to see him. As the parents are hosts, having a sibling tell him that him coming means the other three adult kids are out and that’s not OK makes the most sense. This way the parents don’t have to formally disinvite their son but can still have a nice Thanksgiving gathering.

If my children get divorced and create a situation where it’s them and family number two or grandchildren from family number 1, I would 100% go with grandchildren. I would hope that I raised my child well enough that he would understand forcing a step mother/step kids on his original kids or letting step mother force herself and kids on them was wrong.
