[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP Here - I have certainly received my comeuppance here today, which is fine.  The dinner was more of a "wouldn't it just be more convenient for the foreign cousins (with 4 kids) - and our kids -  if it was at a house instead of a restaurant" and me saying "I guess I can make it work so long as I don't have to cook for 15 people on the day after XMAS" as opposed to a big invitation.  But no matter.  Honest question, though, isn't it unusual for my in laws to invite other family members to our Christmas celebration anyway?  I mean I would never visit them and inform them I was bringing extra people.  I feel like it's akin to her inviting us to have Thankgiving with them, and me announcing that I would also be bringing my parents, my sister, and six friends, and then expecting her to either cook or coordinate dinner for 8 nights for people she barely knows.  Or am I wrong about this too?  Does accepting monetary help during my husband's unemployment[b] (during which no one wanted my DH to have to go out of his way to actually care for the kids - hence the help with childcare)[/b] mean I am now the personal caterer for their extended family gatherings?

What does this mean?  Your DH isn't capable of taking care of his own kids?[/quote]

It's HER house. Maybe she doesn't let him?  [/quote]
