[quote=Anonymous]It does seem that those are your only two choices. They plan with their dd, and you come along. Since they are not more open minded family, why cause yourself this stress? I honestly do not understand this traveling to ILS or your parents for Christmas. I don't understand it so much that when we go to DH's home town, I make Christmas dinner for all, because I want it for my kids and the way I want it. Who can make it comes, who has their own plans, great, do what you like! We have a place there, they all come to us after having mornings and Christmas evening on their own and then we all have a dinner at my place. But, nobody is not allowed to suggest, contribute, etc. SIL will bring her dish that she inherited from her grandma, FIL will bring pies, etc.. But, they did they own thing the night before and in the morning. I am an immigrant, so maybe I don't understand this custom of traveling. And as for that one OP who sleeps at her ILS house within commute distance while her parents stayed alone at her place?! My parents invite my sister's ILS to all holidays, all of them. They even invite my sister's BIL's family, kids and all. But, it is dinner, and what is a big deal about feeding extra people? In my country people actually really enjoy making holidays, but please do leave at a decent hour(of at least by 1am.)[/quote]
