[quote=Anonymous]Before we had kids, we would go to our parents and inlaws (different states). I always felt like I was a kid and doing what my mom and MIL wanted us to do. I didn't get married until my 30s. Once we had kids, we explained we would not travel for the holidays and family could visit us. Our families are both well off financially and my in-laws and mom are retired. Only my dad works. This is the first year my DH and I are taking out kids skiing out West and doing our own thing before Christmas. My mom is pissed. She is upset we are traveling but not "home". My parents never let me visit my aunts and uncles now that my grandparents have passed and I only have a few friends and if I get to see them, my mom is very controlling about the schedule and when we can see my friends and for how long. It is exhausting. My sister and brother actually lie and stay with my aunt a few days before to get to see family or stay with their friends.[/quote]
