[QUOTE="Shari, post: 318792, member: 1848"] FWIF, come Nov 1, I think my blood pressure jumps 20 points, only its not my kids, its the Broom Closet. *** At 80 years old, she refuses to give up her traditions so that her children can have their own. Now that she is self-proclaimed too crippled to cook (yet can stand for 4 hours at an auction and buy $400 worth of glassware), her daughter is now going into her home to prepare the meal, as the woman refused the option of one of us having TG instead. *** Whatever. *** Her grandchildren are old enough to have children, yet her kids aren't allowed to do their own thing yet. It just makes my skin crawl to even think about having to go. *** (and its probably made even harder to deal with because my exMIL was always so careful to ask if one of the daughter in law's wanted to host the holiday each year...she remembered being young and wanting to host the meals...Two Brooms? Apparently doesn't recall that.) *** Just know you're not alone in dreading the holiday BS. *** But I think you did the right thing. daughter in law's got a beef. Let her enjoy it. But I do hope the problem is solved for future years. [/QUOTE]
