[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you or DH suggested/offered to the family that Thanksgiving move back to MIL's house now that you are no longer pregnant and restricted from traveling?  It sounds like the rest of the family might prefer your house anyways, but as a PP pointed out, perhaps she might like the chance to host again?[/quote]

OP here. I am pregnant right now, which is one of the several reasons we're hosting here this year. Saving my DH's aunt and cousins 5 more hours in the car, and having more room for everyone, is also a factor.

But no, we don't host every holiday, and don't expect to! We do Fourth of July at their house, Easter, we've done Thanksgiving and Christmas in the past, and will in the future. I haven't "taken over" hosting, it's just the way it's worked out for last Christmas and for this Thanksgiving. She will host again, I don't have any issue with that![/quote]

I'm PP.  Ok, had missed that you were currently pregnant, as opposed to you were pregnant the last few years and it just hasn't shifted back.

Good luck.  Personally I think your attitude is good, and talking with DH is key.  You sound like someone who has class and is gracious, take lots of deep breaths no matter what happens!![/quote]
