[quote=Anonymous]Your use of the word “relegated” in your OP is a red flag. Relegate it is a pretty loaded word in this case which seems to convey that you might be unhappy with the response to your offer of help. If you are displeased with the idea of being a guest I encourage you to work between now and the holiday to make peace with it. Be kind to your son and your daughter-in-law in allowing them to spread their wings a bit as new family hosts. Please don’t spend the holiday making snide comments or expressing disappointment or pointing out how the way they’ve chosen to host is different than how you traditionally host, etc. this is a pivotal time in your family and if you want to cultivate a future where you get together as a family then by all means do everything you can to be a gracious and considerate guest. If you actively create an environment of stress, tension and judgment you can expect separate holidays going forward. [/quote]
