Every year since we started doing Christmas with each other's families (about 7 years), H and I would do Christmas morning at my parents' and Christmas dinner at his parents' house. This year, he wanted to do the morning with his parents. Fine with me, but my family had a fit, I had to put out a few fires, set a few boundaries, whatever. I love him, it was stressful as shit, but I did it.
Last night, H tells me his parents want to do Christmas dinner. But on another night, so we can all be together. I'm not at all annoyed with my ILs about this. Turns out, H didn't bother to find out if morning or dinner was more important to his parents. Guess what? It's dinner. Which again, I'm totally cool with because my ILs are a fking godsend. Seriously.
What I'm not cool with is all the shit I had to put up with so that H could have Christmas morning with his parents, and they'd rather have dinner with us. H knows how my family is, and how hard it is for me to deal with them, and that they make me legit sick.
Yes, yes, I know... Petty. Other people have real problems. But dude, for real. Couldn't he have checked with them first?
