[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL hosts Thanksgiving. Period. End of Story.  When she is dead someone else can host. This seems to work for my in laws.  Sure I'd like to host but it isn't worth the fight. So I pick another day (a few months later) and invite the whole family. [/quote]

Yep. Assuming that MIL is only this attached to Thanksgiving, it really does sound like OP is engaged in a massive power play. She could have picked a different holiday to take over. She also didn't have to make hers "the" family thanksgiving by inviting all the relatives in April (!!). OP could have just celebrated at home with a small group instead of insisting on taking the whole thing over. It seems really pretty mean. OP why don't you just do Easter or Christmas? [/quote]

Per OP’s posts, MIL hosts literally everything, and always has. OP just wants one holiday. I understand not wanting to travel for every single holiday with young kids. [/quote]
