[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe they want you all to host Christmas one year? Sounds like your kids have never had Christmas at home. And then you could host them all[/quote]

Nope.

MIL cannot travel Xmas/Xmas eve due to work.
FIL cannot really either due to other family members visiting over xmas this week (DH's other siblings)

What do you do when its your parents' year to share Christmas with you?[/quote]

Mine are deceased so MIL gets every Xmas. [/quote]

You know what? You can say this visit doesn’t work. MIL hasn’t been shy about telling you what she wants and needs, you don’t have to be a doormat. You already sound very accommodating. I can’t imagine flying across the country every year with 2 toddlers to accommodate in-laws. You’re already going above and beyond.

Have you heard the expression “Don’t set yourself on fire to keep others warm.” Well, you’re getting very close to that. Stop. It’s okay to consider your needs too. [/quote]
