[quote=Anonymous]I don't know. I think there are no easy answers for someone outside your family. My "DH" would prefer we never have family for holidays, or for anything for that matter, and if I want to cook a turkey then I can do all the prep and cleanup since he'd be just as happy to go to McDonalds for Thanksgiving or have nothing at all. My kids are in elementary school, and by now they realize that most families spend holidays with, well, family, and they beg for company. I actually prefer quiet holidays but I get where they're coming from. For that reason, I can't side with your husband if what he wants is basically to avoid all social contact, just because it's messy and chaotic. That's life with kids - if he doesn't want it, then he shouldn't be part of a family. Maybe I'm projecting - maybe your family really are nightmares. But consider for just a moment that he's also unreasonable.[/quote]
