[QUOTE="DDD, post: 398217, member: 35"] I've read your post [B]subjectively :sigh:[/B] and I don't think it is really about holiday celebrations. Your son has decided that his wife should be able to make decisions for their family. Although I agree that lst time parents often have unique ideas about raising their child......it drives me nuts that grown men so often defer to their spouses, often without objections. We've lived it and it still amazes me. Our son didn't have that particular issue to face (or ignore, lol) but he very often opted to be quiet about really nutsy ideas to our shock. Example ?? my daughter in law gave their toddler "yummy oreos" to make his "tummy feel better" when he had loose stools. WTH! She also has always preferred to spend time with her family and we actually don't know their children on an intimate basis as a result. We see them a couple of times a year. Very fortunately they are nice, bright kids and a true pleasure to be around. Miracles happen, lol. Only time will tell how this all unfolds but I'd suggest that you neither impose your ideas nor ignore your traditions in your own home. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
