[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there history here or were you gobsmacked bc the comment was out of character?

If the latter, I would definitely let it go, host Christmas, and then reevaluate next year's holidays when the time is closer.  You can host what you want without the drama of uninviting anyone.[/quote]
It’s definitely nothing new, as far as DH is concerned; they’ve always been difficult. But it’s the first time I’ve felt insulted. I’ve had a really crappy year and still went out of my way to host them, and for my hospitality to be weaponized, just doesn’t sit well with me. [/quote]

Two choices:

1) Husband is honest and tells them they offended you both and you need some space and won't be hosting them for Christmas; OR

2) you make and excuse and disinvite them.

I know a ton of people will chime in and say - just be honest! - but only you can gauge how that works for the long term. That wouldn't work with my own MIL and I'd rather avoid the conflict than just be honest! but YMMV.[/quote]
