[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could be decent and invite her to your celebration.  It is kinda crappy to never let her even have one holiday on the holiday.  When you are a MIL, how would you feel if you were treated the way she is?[/quote]

I would feel pretty crappy my child didn’t want to spend holidays with me. It’s a pretty big stretch to blame his wife for that though. [/quote]

He is working.  He does want to spend holidays with his family because they go there the weekend after for a holiday celebration. Everyone can grasp he has to work except MIL.

A lot of these comments are based on gender.  I doubt any of these posters would expect the man to take the kids to see his in-laws at any time however a DIL is expected to rush around on Christmas driving for a couple of hours to get a quick visit in to just then have another celebration on the weekend.  This is how you make Christmas hell.

Honestly OP you have it right, enjoy the day with your family and relax, not having to worry about leaving early and driving and then enjoy the full day with your in-laws when your DH is free.  Really it sounds much nicer than racing all over the place trying to fit everyone in.  That sounds stressful and Christmas shouldn't be spent driving on the road.[/quote]
