[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom is refusing to host Christmas because I’m not speaking with my sister (we are 32 and 29 years old). [/quote]

It cut off before I was done. So my grandparents are hosting Christmas, but they are ordering pizza. I’m pregnant and very emotional over this. My husband and I have decided to have our own Christmas feast. [/quote]

I don’t blame your mom. She doesn’t need your drama ruining her holiday. [/quote]

+1. I wouldn’t cook a nice meal for brats who can’t pull it together and be civil for the duration of a three-hour holiday gathering. [/quote]

Oh, you're just like PP's ignorant mom. Neat. Thanks for letting us know.[/quote]

What? You seem to have a reading comprehension problem. Let’s review:
A pregnant poster says she’s “very emotional” at the idea of having to celebrate Christmas with her grandparents who are just ordering pizza. So she decides to ditch the pizza dinner and plan something nicer with her husband.  The implication is that her mom should be hosting that Christmas feast. But mom is not doing that because pregnant poster is refusing to talk with her sister. Apparently the mother doesn’t want to host if her daughters are being immature and not talking to each other.

Tell us how pregnant poster’s mom and the poster you quoted are “ignorant.” Dying to hear this logic. [/quote]

No, sweetie, I’ll review for you.

PP and her sibling aren’t speaking for reasons you have NO idea about and which may be 100% valid. Your “immature” judgement is ridiculous and asinine, as you have no idea what the reason is. No, they do not need to come together and play pretend  for three hours because her adult mother got her fee-fees hurt.

You’re welcome. Glad I could help.[/quote]

NP. While I agree that are a good many valid reasons for siblings to not be speaking to one another, that still doesn’t mean OP should expect that her mother would be willing to create a Rockwellian feast. I mean, that would just be a sham, in my opinion. If it’s so bad that adults can’t be in the same room, then I’m not going to pretend all is well and go through the trouble of cooking a full spread if I can’t even have my family under the same roof. If you want the feast that bad, cook it and invite me over. I’m not a caterer, especially if you want to control my guest list or can’t be civil to one of my guests.[/quote]
