Yes, I will obviously let him stay up later on a holiday.. but I am not agreeing to a 7 pm start time .. which really means 7:30/8pm.

I just want to manage expectations. There are only 3 other adults and they can bend a bit too. [/quote]

op-you said you're the only family.   3 other adults and the inlaws?   Do all the other adults have another Thanksgiving with their own families early?  If not-MIL can have dinner earlier since you are the family.  Or-stay for her late dinner and sleep over assuming they have rooms set up for your family [I would].

We do dinner based on the schedules of our young adult children [and their significant others/family].   Nice to see them but nobody has mandatory attendance.   The others have family functions/dinners or open houses with buffets in the evening.    They all want to cook stuff here - whatever.  Turkey Day hangout place is fun.  We were invited elsewhere but don't have the heart to tell all of them-sorry your childhood home isn't doing Thanksgiving.  [/quote]
