[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom always did this. It’s a nice gesture but please ask your kids first. Later my sister and I both told her she shouldn’t have invited them so early. Yes, we were serious but we didn’t necessarily want them at Christmas just yet. She thought she was being welcoming and invited their parents too. Sometimes they came. So it was like awkward IL and parent get togethers before we were even married.  My family has always been the more the merrier type and usually it is nice.  Not so much on Christmas with your BF’s family. [/quote]

I’m just surprised you guys were all local!

None of my college boyfriends were from the same city as my parents. [/quote]

They weren’t!  My sister had more local boyfriends since she ended up moving to the same town. Not being local didn’t stop my mom from extending invitations. And yes, for many Christmas’s my BFs mother drove two hours each way. He’s now my husband so it’s nice she made that effort early on. And we haven’t all had holidays together in almost 20 years. Eventually we started alternating houses. [/quote]
