[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I escaped my smothering mother and jumped across the Atlantic. So while this was not specifically targeted for the Holidays, it works out well for that too. My husband's parents are also 8 hours away by plane, so we're good.[/quote] My smother mother only lives 30 minutes away so we were constantly pressured to do both houses. I never enjoyed it - it was very selfish of her as she was never driving us kids to her parents house when we were kids. The whole family would call and pressure us even on Christmas Day. The thing is is that the other family's with kids involved are too lazy to do their own home Christmas so it's like there's 3 mothers yelling at me at once. OP I would tell DH that you are open to doing Christmas Eve at the parents (during the day, not at night) but that you want to be home for Christmas. Kids can open presents and have a special brunch and then go home for Christmas. Put your foot down now.[/quote]
