Thanksgiving Prep

[dianestory2]

All kidding aside, MacRumors is one of the more "bright and well-lighted" places in Cyberspace, so I doubt you'd run into any serious problems here.

Very true. I've never been abused here like I am on youtube D:

It has been customary for my husband and I to go to either of our Parents' houses for Thanksgiving. But this year, I really want to have thanksgiving at our house, just my husband and I. Is this permissible? I can just hear my mother saying, "Your father might not be here for next Thanksgiving, and you want that to be his last impression of you??"

This is her typical response to things like this. My husband's parents are much more relaxed, but they always hope for us to join them on the holidays.

For the record, I am NOT the kind of person who will happily defy my parents... never have been.

Not sure what I'm asking here, but I just want to have a Thanksgiving with my Husband, in our house.

So....what are you going to do?

Create memories with your husband on Thanksgiving. Don't allow others to make you feel bad for wanting to be with just your husband. Live for your love and your marriage. Don't live trying to appease others expectations of you. That is a road that never ends.

It's OK for me to stay with family members on holidays. I like lively

After the fact, nothing wrong with that. My father, nor my adult son live no where close to us. Have not had TDay with either of them in a long while. Now if they lived locally, we would send invites, but not necessarily every year, nor would we be offended if they had other plans.

Oh, I had great fun this thanksgiving. We visited three different sides of my and my wife's family. Lots of driving, but it was nice to see everyone. Maybe next year we will stay home, and they can come visit us.
