[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you travel every year out of obligation and from your post would actually like to just have a chill Thanksgiving. Your son isn’t refusing to ever have contact, he is requesting that you all get off the obligation train where no one gets good sleep or enjoys themselves.

Their nasty reaction speaks volumes as to what kind of people they must be like for a week!

Just repeat telling your family that you and DH have some crazy work obligations and DS has some intense classes. You won’t be traveling this year. If they yell and insult you, hang up.

You can’t make them understand especially if their go to response is fit throwing, yelling and name calling. Let them stew and be mad. They own their reactions, you own yours.

Have a blissfully peaceful Thanksgiving. [/quote]

What a terrible response.  Did you even read the original post?   OP already has told the family her son has no interest in seeing them.  How do you expect them to react?  It’s too late to lie as you are proposing.

DCUM is so f_cked up when it comes to coddling kids and treating extended family like garbage.  Had OP said “my teenaged son hates my ILs and wants to kill them” I swear most of you would egg them on.  [/quote]
