[quote=Anonymous]My husband has a small family and he finally said no more to the 3pm holiday meal on Sundays. We are the only ones with little kids, and it is always a such a rush and unenjoyable to spend the holidays that way. IL's are an hour away without traffic, bedtime is at 7, it's a school/work night... Not that I think that it's my way or the highway with kids, but don't tell us that you want to see the grandkids and pout about it, but do absolutely nothing to make it easier for us to come over. No one else in his nuclear family has a reason why dinner couldn't be adjusted by an hour to work better for us. He tried pushing back (hey mom - you remember what it was like with little ones, can we shoot for 2pm?), we tried just letting it play out and let the kids be overstimulated and off their routine and his mom hated that, and finally, my husband started to use his words and was like nope, won't work for us, maybe we can have you down for lunch next week instead.
