[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this has more to do with you not liking them than the excuse of not being able to have your movie time. We have always had an early dinner with my parents on Christmas Eve and were always home early enough to have evening traditions with our kids.

The holidays are when people treasure spending time with family and it’s a time kids learn to appreciate having extended family. So many people live far away or don’t have family. [/quote]

And it doesn’t sound like they are monsters. People have no social graces anymore. So many misanthropes. [/quote]

That was my take reading the OP too. Her inertia is more important than fostering greater family tradition with extended family one day out of 365. There’s an absurdly easy compromise here (time shift earlier in the day to inlaws who live 20 mins away. Return home for plenty of hours of nuclear family time)

But TikTok has taught OP that it is healthy and happy to indulge yourself and ice out family.
