[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a DIL and would never do this to my MIL and FIL, who host a very different kind of Thanksgiving than what I prefer. I think it's shockingly rude of your son and DIL to invite the family to a Thanksgiving dinner at their house when you traditionally host... without even giving you a heads-up.

Not only that, but it puts the other guests in a really awkward position.[/b]

My MIL and FIL are like you and have a lot of extended family and some friends who come, each and every year.

Your son should have discussed it with you first, period. This is on him. For all you know, your DIL assumed he had.[/quote]

This is a good point too! My aunt has been hosting our family's Thanksgiving for two decades. At this point it's assumed by everyone that we're going there each year. This could change of course someday, but if I just got an evite out of the blue from her DIL, in early November, inviting me to Thanksgiving at her house, I would be frankly confused.

I blame the son as much as the DIL, but upending family tradition like this, via evite and with no warning, is strange behavior.[/quote]
