[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a thought--I know this is crazy--TELL THEM HOW YOU FEEL. Call your MIL and tell her, "It's so nice and generous of you to host, but after 10 years of doing Thanksgiving with your family, I really miss some of my family's dishes and traditions. Can you help me feel more included and more comfortable by allowing me to bring red wine and cranberry sauce, even if no one else eats it?" GASP! Direct communication...something most DCUMmers are unfamiliar with...[/quote] Because martyrs like to be martyrs and doormats like to be doormats. So why would a adult talk in a straightforward manner to another adult? Because then the problem might get solved, and they wouldn't have anything to be dramatic/bitch about.[/quote] And this is what this thread is really about.[/quote]
