[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would enlist your most reasonable and helpful sibling and make them help solve some of this. It's too much! I could not handle this.[/quote] Exactly. Tell your siblings last year did not go well FOR YOU and have them come up with ways to figure this out. If you are in DC, this is SO easy because there are a million things to do that are free. The Smithsonian is open Thanksgiving day in the morning! Do not let them sit and marinate in your house. Assign an activity for the morning or afternoon and then they go DO IT. Your DH should deal with his parents/aunt/uncle. If someone isn't doing the activity, encourage them to hang at the hotel. I would try to figure out how to alternate families. That will cut your guest list, and also you can be more direct (I am assuming) with your own family. If you can't be direct, then say you will not host. [/quote]
