[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree you need your DH to agree. Just say you can't/don't want to travel at Christmas this year. Use limited vacation time as an example. Keep out discussions of the crazy aunt or being cooped up. Just keep it simple "It's too much work, I don't have enough time off, I really don't want to travel". Then follow it up with, something you are willing to do "I'm happy to have everyone here, or host your parents, or whatever". Start the conversation in small ways with your DH. You both need to be on board. Then, your DH breaks it to his family.[/quote] OP here, thanks this sounds like great advice.[/quote]
