[quote=Anonymous]Nope. Teenagers have a right to express their feelings. He is well within normal behavior to say I don’t want to go there over the Thanksgiving Holiday. OP stated that she would honestly prefer to stay home too. Frankly, they sound absolutely horrible. I’m team son on this one. OPs first attempt to tell her family they wouldn’t be making it was fine. Things went downhill after this.

Rule 1. Do not try to explain why your son doesn’t want to be around these people. You are making more of a mess. It’s making the crazy relatives angry and it’s laying all the “blame” on your kid. These are rude bat sh$&t people who don’t care about your kid. They do sound like bullies. Don’t let any relative tell you what is or isn’t acceptable regarding your kid. Draw a line and protect your kid.

Rule 2. Stop expecting crazy people to suddenly develop manners and empathy. Not gonna happen. Grow a backbone.

Rule 3 Stand up for your son and DH is they screw with him too. Do not meekly apologize that they are not the way the brutish trash pile wants them to be. Heck no. Put an immediate stop to that nonsense.

Rule 4. When you do visit this den of pushy people, limit the amount of time. Create escape values by staying at a hotel, figuring out other activities. If the pushy people won’t accept this don’t go at all. [/quote]
