I am such a child (long)

My parents are coming to my house (from STL) this year for Thanksgiving since H and I are going to the bedlam game.  We usually go to their house for T-day and they come here for Christmas because H & I have a "rule" that we stay home for Christmas since we only have DSS for a short period of time and don't want to spend it traveling.  We plan to cook dinner at our house.

My aunt (my dad's sister) and I are talking on FB today and she tells me my stepmom told her they were coming (to OK) for Tday.  I hadn't told her yet because deep down, I knew all this drama would occur.  So she asks me if we're all coming to her house, I say "no, dad and I are cooking at my house".  She says "well, I guess it will just be us (her kids and H) at our house then because I'm sure grandpa (her dad, my grandpa) will come to your house", making me feel guilty.

So I cave and tell her we could come to her house or they could come to ours.  Even though this is not what I want at all.  I don't want to go to her house because she's a terrible cook, and I don't want her screaming little monsters at my house when I'm trying to spend some time with my dad, who I don't see often. 

She says she wants to cook because it's the only meal she's cooked at her house every year (WTF?).  So I tell her maybe we could get together later that evening, or Friday.

THEN, I talk to my stepmom.  SM has already told aunt that they are staying at my house, eating dinner on Tday at my house, shopping Friday morning and maybe they could come visit on Friday night. 

So why did aunt ask me if we were coming to her house on Tday?  Cause she knew I would cave like a child as soon as she made me feel bad for her!!!  Ugh.
