[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband had to work at the hospital all day last Christmas. My MIL announced months earlier that she would “definitely” be with us for the holiday. I told her that I was flying solo and likely would attend someone else’s celebration as well, and that I would keep her posted. Well, no one else stepped up and I wound up hosting two meals alone that day. Both my mother and MIL said they’d come early and help and then neither of them did. I already know that my husband’s only sibling will be away for the holiday this year and I’m anticipating a repeat. I’ve already decided I’m not doing it again. No advice, but I feel you on the unusual schedule and managing kids and hosting alone. It’s hard. [/quote] I'd get ahead of this and just say you already have plans and can not host this year. No need to provide other details. Or you can say "with friends" and leave it at that. Don't make 2 big meals if you don't want to! [/quote]
