[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are the kids and was there an affair? I think generally the advice in these situations is to invite everyone and let them decide. If that means nephews won't go, that is on them. But the answers to my questions could change all of that.

They were teenagers. It was a very painful divorce. They are now 24, 21 and 19. My exSIL has moved on, I felt she was always the bigger person.[/quote]

How long ago was the divorce?[/quote]

5 years ago[/quote]

And how long are these young men going to nurse a grudge and try to ruin their aunts Christmas dinner with their theatrics? 10 years? 15?[/quote]

You have no idea of the actual reason for the problem, and you have no idea what attendance plan is going to result in a ruined Christmas dinner. It may be they don't want the step-family to come because they know it would cause trouble to have them there.

I would let the dad sort out the mess, since he's the one who created it. If the nephews don't come, offer to have them over another time.[/quote]
