[quote=Anonymous]Your kids are 2 and 4.  I understand that the thought of eating frozen pizza upsets you but perhaps you could scale back.  DH was born in Europe and does not love turkey.  When our kids were this age TG was a very simple affair: a few roasted quails with stuffing on the side, cranberry sauce, candied sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli with store-bought dessert.  If your DH complains he is welcome to order additional sides, which he will, of course never do.  I will also scale back Christmas.  Put up a tree, lights, a few decorations, and presents.  Looking back, I wish I had spent less time stressed out about details and more enjoying the kids.  Your DH is controlling but your response sets the pattern and delineates boundaries.  I used to go ballistic because my (also-controlling) DH had 1,001 prescriptions about how our household had to be maintained but never lifted a finger to even hang his jacket.  To this day he has never mopped any surface in any of the half-dozen dwellings in which we have lived.  My mother advised me years ago to stop doing things for him.  I did.  As she predicted, 95 percent of the time he seemed neither to notice or care.  How many hours of my life did she give me back for myself?  From how much angst and anger did she set me free?
