[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's very rude to force her to be scheduled for Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. I would have hated it to be brought to me like this. Being invited to share the Christmas spirit as a family is what's supposed to be done. Not "you HAVE TO be there". Even if from what I get she won't be working.
You sound very micro managing, pp.[/quote]

You know what else is rude? The AP that shows up for dinner and presents, but doesn't spend any other time with the family. No help preparing dinner or cleaning up. [b]Stares at phone and texts throughout dinner[/b], then leaves the minute she's done eating and not when everyone else is done. No leisurely coffee and breakfast while kids play with new toys. Grabs presents, opens them, mumbles thanks, and heads out.

This is the reason why HFs "schedule" holidays. To set an expectation that AP is there. Because some APs simply don't care enough unless they get something out of it (presents). [/quote]

Whaaat?  NUMBER ONE rule of the household:  no phones at the table! This is family talk time. Some people really are lobotomized. [/quote]
