[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They’re your in-laws and one way to look at it is you spend a few days a year in their less than totally comfy home and the vast majority with your nuclear family. Can’t you just go and make the best of it and encourage the relationship with your kids and their grandparents, the only ones they have? Do a Black Friday turkey seconds dinner at home with just DH and kids, and a Boxing Day dinner with them also - make those your new traditions. [/quote] Why are the in-laws feelings and needs more important than her hers? The in-laws live nearby and can see the grandkids when ever they want. The OP is an adult and doesn’t have to apologize for how she chooses to spend her time and energy. She has given plenty of holidays to the in-laws. She is entitled to nuclear family time for special occasions too![/quote] What if the rest of the nuclear family wants to go?[/quote]
