[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure if this is "right", but:

If the gathering is you, your children, your parents and your nieces and nephews - the new wife and her children aren't really of the same "family". They can gather with her family, also the family of the step kids.

I think when you break apart a family you have to prepare for such things. So I guess I'd rather have the nieces and nephews present, than the brother + new wife + new fam. [/quote]

The grandparents are hosting their kids (including the dad in this story) and their grandkids (the college boys in this story). You can’t really think they’re going to say their son isn’t welcome because he got divorced 5 years ago and his college aged kids don’t want his new wife there. Merry Christmas?[/quote]
If I were the grandparents I'd want both my children there, and all the grandchildren. I don't think I'd be fussed if the new wife and her rando kids are there. I'd place priority on my grandchildren over a remarried wife and her children. [/quote]
