[quote=Anonymous]OP, our families are on opposite coasts, so I've never tried to split a holiday. But I know about making ILs unhappy with the formula for celebrating. At a certain point, I just stopped feeling angst/guilt about it all. We are very unbalanced in our time with family, mostly because of the cost/convenience advantages of my MA-based family over his CA-based family (and then, need - after one of my parents died.) I used to try really hard to keep things even. Then when #2 arrived, with some health issues, and our house had not enough space for my ILs to come for 2 weeks at a time, I just let it go. They do complain when I talk to them, but it just rolls off me. I wish I had the luxury to indulge their every wish, but unfortunately that's not the case, and I can't do any more than I currently do. It's kind of a liberating feeling, and I highly recommend it - don't wait till you've got two kids to give yourself permission to do what is right for your family.[/quote]
