Re: I'm really frustrated right now.
Rachel,
I am so sorry you have to deal with this. The holidays can be very stressful cuz people can be just out right obnoxious.
I cant believe you Sil expects you to drive out there 9 at night. Thats just nuts!

Thanks for taking the time to read all that, ladies. I didn't realize how long it was!
I'm thinking maybe I'll just skip his family this year for Christmas and go to my aunt's house during the day while JT is at work. I don't need the aggravation. And FOR ONCE JT's mom and I were on the same side. She actually TALKED to me about things that were bothering her today! I didn't think she had it in her!
I'm so sorry you are going through this. But at least it sounds like you and your MIL are bonding. Maybe this could be the beginning of a new start for the two of you.

Re: I'm really frustrated right now.
my suggestion was to have his parents over for dessert let them go to her house for dinner, less for you to do. and i wouldnt get his sister or the husband anything for christmas for being selfish. you can always come by me for christmas looks like we might do it here with my folks since im not up for the drive to jersey. i love company.

Your plan to go to your aunt's sounds good- you're right, you don't need the aggravation.

Re: I'm really frustrated right now.
Rachel,
Instead of you saying something to her husband at Thanksgiving can JT handle it?
I'm sorry you have to deal with this and very sorry that you can't spend the holiday with your husband or parents.

Re: I'm really frustrated right now.
Ahhh the joys of married life!! DH and I have decided we will do what we want and whoever wants to join us is welcome and whoever doesn't can do their own thing.
I would have Christmas at your house as you planned, have MIL over, and let SIL know they are welcome but if they choose not to come over, then that is fine too.
We are both the youngest of 6 so there are a lot of tug-of-wars going on during the Holidays but we refuse to get stuck in the drama.

Re: I'm really frustrated right now.
I would have been aggravated too. I would say screw them (your SIL & her DH) and host it at your house regardless. It seems that your MIL is on board so take advantage. If her response was "oh well" then yours can be too. I personally wouldn't even bother confronting the BIL. I hope it works out.

Re: I'm really frustrated right now.
I say F her and have it at your house.....if they want to miss it, then it's their problem.
Going out there for 9pm is ridiculous, especially if the weather will be bad and you're newly PG....HELLO!! I'm surprised you offered to host with all the work that needs to be done for a holiday dinner! I would SO do the same thing you are doing.
We are going out for both holidays (doing Christmas should be fun for me) since it's easier for us to go to SIL house since she has the 2 kids. Plus BIL is on call for Christmas, so he needs to be near his phone and computer for work.
I don't mind (no clean up for me!)
