[quote=Anonymous]OP -- you are mad about too many things. Calm down. The parents were told, no Thanksgiving with them this year. You stick to it. The message was delivered. It's done. Any change by your DH, well you can't control that, but don't engage with him back and forth about it either. Don't escalate (to justify your No Thanksgiving/Holidays Ever with The InLaws Wish), a meanness that's unnecessary. You are escalating. Just say no to events you do not wish to attend. Be reasonable about seeing family -some amount of time- throughout the year. Huddle with your DH and decide together or he can visit alone some. Don't add to the drama. Adults can't be afraid to make Mommy & Daddy mad. But parents getting mad, is not different than any other adult relationship, it is counterproductive in encouraging more togetherness. [/quote]
