[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] :?: [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your MIL was rude.  I am a DIL and a MIL.  Just something to consider.  A lot of older adults just don’t like getting out late.  Or even being up late.  I always do dinner at 4 or 5 when my parents or in-laws visit.  DH and I are still fairly young.  We are 55 and thankfully, very active and healthy.  On a normal evening, we are in bed by about 8:30.  We are up by 5:30 at the latest.  And we are both retired.  It’s not intentional.  It’s just how we are now.  When my grandkids are here, we have so much fun!  But I am exhausted by the end of the day.  Your MIL may just be really tired by 6 or 7.  I know I am.  And I never thought it would happen to me. [/quote]

Well then they can say that. Like adults. It’s called communication. OP moved the time to accommodate the no-driving-in-the-dark request. All she can go on. They’re not talking about any other concerns or problems, instead, MIL is taking a cheap shot at stress and mental health. Which is a particularly rude thing for one mom to do to another when it comes to holiday stress.[/quote]

So OP has mental health issues now? Lol

She shouldn't host since it's so stressful for her.[/quote]

DP.  Why are so hateful and malicious?[/quote]

I am pretty sure MIL is asking the same thing about OP right now. I mean, who tells their DH's parents not to come to early on Christmas eve? [/quote]

Someone who needs a little time to hem selves to prepare give everything she is doing to keep her family afloat.  The guilty-tripping going on here over OP daring to take care of herself for a few hours is manipulative and abusive.[/quote]

Agree!  DCUM loves to attack though. [/quote]
