[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The evite was passive-aggressive but at this point, what's done is done. You can either decline or accept. If you accept, why not do another Thanksgiving dinner (different date) with your friends as well? Btw, even if your DIL sent the evite, your contact person should be your son.

Because then they wouldn't be with us on Thanksgiving. It would just be an everyday dinner party.[/quote]

OP, I can see why your son avoided talking to you ahead of time - you seem very inflexible and set in your ways. Still, if you're this upset, he's the person you need to talk to. So, I'll ask again:

Why haven't you called your son?[/quote]

My money is on the following: OPs son and DIL decided they wanted to host Thanksgiving this year to start establishing their own traditions; OPs son knew she would react this way and refused to talk to his mom about it because he didn't want to hear it; DIL went ahead with sending out the invite because she also didn't want to have to deal with OPs reaction (and why should she if OPs son wouldn't do it himself?); OP reacted exactly as expected, blamed DIL (DIL likely was expecting this, thus the no-conversation-before-evite), and OP is going to huff and puff and throw a fit ruining her own Thanksgiving while the kids enjoy their new tradition of Thanksgiving at their home.[/quote]

+1 THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED [/quote]
