[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 393130"] Every year in husband's family his aunt and uncle have Christmas at their house. For the 13 years that husband and I have been married we have never spent a Christmas Day in here, except for one Christmas that I cooked when we were living in our apartment when my family came, and that was before the kids were born. So, this year I asked Aunt C if I could cook. I told her that my kids really wanted a Christmas where they could stay home and play with their new toys and not have to rush off to someone else's house. Plus the fact, although I didn't tell her this, Aunt C is 74 and Uncle P is 83 and she complains bitterly about having to make this HUGE tray of lasagne and making 300 tiny meatballs for it and it's so much work. You would think that she would be happy to give to holiday to someone else. My kids get bored there because there is really nothing for them to do there. We bring games and stuff, but that only lasts for so long. They only got cable for the first time last year, so it's not like they could watch anything on television, either. When I asked if I could cook this year I got a very cold, "I cook Christmas every year." Really, I don't want to go and I told husband that and he said that we have to go because his aunt would be angry if we don't (like I care about that) and it's Christmas and we should be with family. difficult child has been up in arms with me about it. I told him that I spoke to his father and that he wants to go. So, difficult child asks husband if we could stay home (he asks husband really nicely; I get screamed at about it!). husband tells me this morning that he's thinking about not going. I'm glad that he's thinking about it, but I wanted to scream! I told him that I said weeks ago I didn't to go and I got shot down immediately, but difficult child says it and all of a sudden it's a wonderful idea? Ugh!! I HATE when he does that! Pam [/QUOTE]
