[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think being the sole parent on the holiday means the OP needs to do what works for her, not what works for her MIL. If DH is solo parenting some holiday (seems unlikely but if...) he can make a different choice based on what works for him.  I do not understand everyone assigning the OP additional emotional labor [b]on behalf of...what? [/b]A metaphorical gold star from a a MIL who makes snide comments? A metaphorical gold star from her husband who *doesn’t want* to be around his family? A DD who gets to have a stressed out mother on the holiday in addition to no dad? Who are these posters trying to save here???[/quote]

On behalf of her freaking kids?  Or maybe common decency?

The fact you had to turn one muttered "it's not fair" into "a MIL who makes snide comments" is telling.  If OP had even one other example of her MIL disrespecting her, being ungrateful, being snide, she certainly would have presented it in any of her flailing follow-ups.  Years of different treatment and complete disregard for her kids' relationships with her paternal grandparents leading to exactly one offhand comment is not a "snide MIL."  If you have a leg to stand on you don't have to twist the narrative like this.[/quote]
