[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry OP. You have your own child now. From now on you stay home for Christmas. [/quote]

Thanks. [b]Traditions are so important to my DH[/b]. I tried to get him to change it to open some presents te night before, but he threw a fit. I told him every time we come down again we have to do a two family dinner. That way both families feel less left out.

I really like his family for the most part, I do. But their lack of empathy for us in our situation is insane.[/quote]

Great. Now he needs to grow up and realize that he is married with a child, and it's time to start his own family traditions that don't necessarily include his mommy and daddy and bratty little sister.[/quote]

OP, please heed this. Husband needs to grow up. You say he "threw a fit" when you asked about opening SOME presents a little early. What a mature and thoughtful reaction on his part, right? He needs to realize that his family is now you and your child first and foremost and his childhood traditions take a back seat to that -- forever, from now on. These things don't usually come out of the blue, and I wonder -- if you really think it through, does he also have ties to the old apron strings in other ways at other times?

I think he and you need to plan next Christmas without any changing houses ON Christmas Day, period, and he needs to be taking your side -- the side of his family which is you, him and baby -- whenever his MIL and SIL are immature and treat you stupidly. Does SIL have kids? Does she know what it's like to be up with a baby while sick yourself? She and MIL sound like there's a maturity issue there (they kept you there despite knowing full well that you had a specific departure time AND knowing you were sick) and it sounds like husband has the same issue. Time for everyone to calm down, grow up and for him to grow a pair as well.[/quote]
