[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 216925, member: 1233"] Sounds like a pretty good attitude toward the entire thing. She has been dating/living with this guy for 4 years and doesn't go to his family for holidays, nor does he come to hers? That is a bit odd, but if it works for them I know my inlaws find me strange to the nth degree. I honestly think husband had a better visit with them because I wasn't there than he would have with me there. (He went to his dad and step mom's for thanksgiving, I felt cruddy and didn;t go. twas the ideal holiday for Thanksgiving for me. very peaceful.) anyway, when I posted I was remembering all the pressure and manipulations she put on you last year. I hope this year you can remember that she is old enough to be her OWN Santa, and that YOU are off that particular hook. You also can use my Aunt's lins, "I don't think I would enjoy that." said in a rather firm but very pleasant voice. It is so much harder to fight that with rudeness than if you had said, "No" or "I don't want to do that.". I hope this is a pressure free gathering, or at least that you can arrange to spend a good portion of the holiday doing something YOU want to do. A short trip might be rejuvenating. Even if it is just to a local motel with a couple of good books! [/QUOTE]
