[quote=Anonymous]I think a sudden announcement to state you’re breaking a long-standing tradition is very rude, at least the way you presented it here. You would have been a much better person to break the news gently “Mom, DH and I really want to host our own thanksgiving this year. We’d love it if you and dad would come. I know it’s a big change and hope you’re not too upset but it’s something we’re really eager to try.” Then let her say her piece, hold firm, but be kind, tell her it would mean a lot if she’d bring her pumpkin pie or, if they’re not able to come, you could make plans to do XYZ together over Christmas. Why are you being so antagonistic to your family?[/quote]
