[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, you missed the easiest window to stand up for yourself, which was when your first was born. At that point, its so easy to say "We'll be having Xmas at our house going forward. You're welcome to join" Which would avoid the obnoxious friends probably, and from the sounds of your ILs, they would only come every other year anyway[/quote] I pulled the plug when my oldest was 6. After that I insisted on having Christmas Eve and Christmas morning for just us. It just wasn't fun anymore to try and manage everything. Having said that, I do still see my in-laws for Thanksgiving and my own family either right before or right after Christmas. Selfishly , I didn't want to send the message to my own kids that they didn't have to see us when they were adults.[/quote]
