[quote=Anonymous]Your MIL is being unreasonable. The only thing about your offer that, although perfectly reasonable, might be off putting is the restaurant food. People get attached to their own family recipes and side dishes. So, invite your MIL to come cook Thanksgiving dinner in your kitchen. You will have a brand new baby and no idea ahead of time what kind of recovery you face. If your MIL wants her family altogether for the holiday, it's incumbent on her to compromise. You've already gone the extra mile by agreeing to spend the holiday with them. It would be perfectly reasonable for you and DH to decide to spend the Thanksgiving alone at your house with no extended family invited. Actually, maybe suggest that that is your Plan B, so your current offer will look like the better one![/quote]
