[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up always doing thanksgiving with my family of 4. My mom was a doctor and never got off enough time for us to travel. Loved it!! Her and I spent hours cooking and baking. We always invited another family or a few couples over for dinner. Thanksgiving is actually a great holiday to invite other people for. So many foreigners here that wouldn’t otherwise be celebrating an American holiday. My neighbors were German and would come and then we had another couple from England who came often. Similar to how many Jewish families invite others for for seders. [/quote]

But I always wanted to say that I got married young and it was so so hard on my parents when they couldn’t spend the holiday with me. They’re estranged from my sibling. The years I go to my in-laws my parents are all alone and I know it’s not easy for them. It depresses them too much to invite people. I wish they’d come to my in-laws but they aren’t invited. On their years they invite my in-laws who always come. [/quote]

Has you DH asked your inlaws about inviting your parents?[/quote]
