Family + Holiday times= VENT!!!
Family holidays have and will always be tough.... my parents are divorced so that = two families, DH's family as well as our own family.
DH's family has probably close to 75 people. My moms family comes in from IA or we go there. My dads side has dad, step mom, grandpa and grandma plus me and my two sisters. My stepmom will not EVER budge on the time... they are working with around 10-15 people and will not change it around to accomodate us. This drives me insane.
When my sister talked to my dad about it he said we always pick our other families over them....the other families have huge amounts of people and is a lot harder to change. Also, the other side of the family is ALWAYS there for us whenever we need them in which I cant say the same about my dad and stepmom. They say its no big deal come whenever but it seriously annoys me that you cant move your time back or up by an hour or two to accomodate everyone.
Perhaps I am just being selfish. End of my rant for now.
Re: Family + Holiday times= VENT!!!
No, you aren't being selfish. I've had issues with IL's as far as times go before -- they think that there is no way that a time can be changed. But then, when we set a time, and get their opinion on it -- they show up an hour late. If we were to be an hour late to something that they planned, it would be the end of the world!
I say go when it works for you and when they get pissed -- oh well! You asked them to change, they refused. You came when you could.
