In today's Dear Annie column, Annie Lane hears from a reader who is frustrated that the whole family can't come together for Thanksgiving dinner.
While the holidays can be a stressful time, Annie Lane advises today's Dear Annie reader not to let her mother-in-law spoil their holiday meal plans
Now that the children are adding spouses with another set of families, it’s getting a bit much. This year, we asked to have Thanksgiving at our home, where we could host both sets of families comfortably. It was agreed upon, and I let family members know that we would be hosting. Fast forward a few weeks, and my mother-in-law informs us that she has changed her mind. She says it would be too much for her.
First, have a conversation with your husband. Make sure you are on the same page regarding your intentions for the holiday season: your budget, your family dynamics, your concerns, etc. As long as you two are on the same team and communicating well, the holiday chaos will be manageable.
