[quote=Anonymous] NP here. Might you have social anxiety by any chance? Are you a people-pleaser in general? I'm like this. I would have a hard time parachuting into someone else's traditions and not comply with them, out of respect. However, at some point we all have to compromise and tweak things to end up with what's most important to us, OP. What you want most is relaxation for yourself AND getting your precious little one some family time. Can't you let go of the disapproval that will ensue when you don't bring the expected gifts? I'm sure that they love you, even though they might find it entertaining for a while to complain about your gifts. A few rounds like this, and they'll come to expect it and it won't be fodder any more. I like your idea of resting for a few days here and going to visit with just a few token gifts, however to be polite I would still call ahead and warn them to expect you. [/quote]
