[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your husband wants to see his parents/steps more often, he needs to plan the trips. I drew that line early on -- my husband is responsible for maintaining his relationships with his family members (he has a lot of siblings). In 15 years of marriage, I literally never once have said "it's time to plan a visit to see your mom." And I LIKE his mom. But that's not my job.[/quote] +1. I honestly think, in a divorced family, the best thing you can do is create other traditions at other times of year. My dad is a real peach and understands this, so we're totally off the hook for winter holidays with him, as long as we show up for a blowout 4th of July weekend-- the whole parade and lake and cookout routine. The kids have a blast, and it's a lot less holiday pressure on me and DH that way.[/quote]
