[quote=Anonymous]I totally get it, OP. I just said goodbye to my brother and his family after a very long and exhausting 5 days. I am always host, I do every single thing, with never a single finger lifted to help nor a single thank you uttered, save a muttered "thanks" as they are going out the door. But I always feel pressured to have them for holidays, both large and small, and to do a joint vacation in the summer. Every time they leave I swear I'm going to take a break and say NO next time. I never do because I feel guilty, as my brother is a single father and there would be no Thanksgiving dinner or anything special done if it weren't for me (not because of limited means, just because my brother wouldn't bother.) I say you have to find a happy medium. Remember: these are the only memories you'll have of your children growing up. Do you want them all to be dominated by the chaos? Of course I also get how hard it can be to change the dynamic. Good luck! [/quote]
