[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you go there during non-peak time and celebrate the holidays early? Your DH should have spoken to his sister directly, not complained to his mom. Of course his sister is gonna be miffed. Handle it like an adult, he calls her to chat, clear the air and move on.[/quote]

It’s DH’s sister in law- not his sister. Hence even more reason for her to be miffed that she’s being pulled in to all this drama/forced to host.[/quote]

I can't imagine my brother and SIL rolling up and dropping their kids off for a week (days?) without ever discussing it with me, just going off of what the mother/MIL said. Maybe the MIL said something like "I'm sure they won't mind!" when it turns out they do. But I wouldn't ever want someone to feel burdened with my kids and I would make sure they were ok with the plan first because I want to make sure they are in good hands with willing babysitters. This just does not fall into the his family/his problem territory for me. That would be who gets to bring the stuffing to the dinner.[/quote]
