OP here. I should have mentioned—BIL and his wife and two kids are coming and staying overnight. DH’s single cousin is coming, he can bring friends if he wants. DH aunt and uncle also coming. [b]DH’s parents [/b]could also stay overnight with us if they choose to. We also have 2 kids.[/quote]

[b]Your MIL is being silly. She can tell her friends that times are changing and she will be going to your house this year. [/b]

Don’t push on your end though—let her sons be the ones to get her the rest of the way on this. “Mom, are you really not going to come see all of us? C’mon, we still want you to make your famous pecan pie (or whatever).”[/quote]

Yes, your MIL is engaging in magical thinking that if she doesn't host that her friends can not figure out something else to do that day.  Amazingly they can and will even if that means they stay at home which btw may be exactly what they want to do.

Personally, I hate Thanksgiving and we never host.  I would be fine if no one invited us either because I would love the day to stay at home, hang out, do nothing, and no big cooking to do.[/quote]

Is it just the mother in law, or mother and father in law? Another post says there's no father involved in this, but this one says parents.
