Same. He can do everything. And I’d plan a spa day and leave the house for the majority of the time. [/quote]

I wouldnt give up Christmas with my kids. My ILs could go elsewhere.[/quote]

I agree. I've had it up to there with suggestions that somehow always end up making the woman of the house change her plans. Most of us don't want a spa day at Christmas (are the spas even open?), we want to enjoy our decorated homes, cook our favorite meals, and not have ungrateful and impolite guests.

We should be giving precedence to the WOMAN OF THE HOUSE, because she's the one doing most of the work. Not the grandmas who live elsewhere and are invited guests. If the Grandma wants to host in her own house, then she gets precedence. But Grandmas don't automatically get precedence just because once upon a time, maybe they had to suffer a rabid MIL of their own. No no no. We do not visit the sins of the past onto new generations. The goal is to stop the vicious cycle.
