[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 318738, member: 4264"] Urgh! I have to say I do understand the drama that can ensue for families during holidays. I always hear from friends of their lovely holidays without drama, with a big sigh I fight off the urge to ask them adopt me and my children! It is always that way with us. Well, actually, it always WAS that way. Until I just took myself out of the equation. I do what feels right and works for me and the kids and S/O now. Sometimes its my family, sometimes its his family, of course with my family it requires multiple (draining and exhausting) gatherings to juggle those who wont' be in a room with others. We also choose more than 50% to do our own thing at home without any balancing act. I hope you enjoy Thanksgiving. Your daughter asked first. You had accepted. I truly belive you can't please everybody all of the time, so don't let it faze you. You can bet, like it is in life, that your daughter in law and son will just go about their day. So don't let it get you down. Enjoy the gathering and I dont' blame your daughter for wanting to have it in her first home of her own. Its an exciting time for new home owners. [/QUOTE]
