"Welcome to WiseWomenUnite.com -- When adult children marry and leave home, life can sometimes get more complex instead of simpler.  Being a mother-in-law or daughter-in-law can be tough.  How do we extend love and support to our mothers-in-law, adult children, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, and grandchildren without interfering?  What do we do when there are communication problems?  How can we ask for help when we need it without being a burden?  And how do our family members feel about these issues?  We invite you to join our free forum, read some posts... and when you're ready...share your challenges and wisdom."

Daughter in Laws and/or Son in Laws / Re: Suggestions on holidays;what to do

Thanks, all; I can use even more suggestions and commiserations!  It helps.

Pam, when you said that it gets old (dil having all holidays at her family's) did you mean it got old w you or w your son or with your whole family?

Did anyone have any luck in trying to persuade son to buck the system?

I have read the Help and can't figure out how to pm any of you; help!  How do I do that?!  I'm confused!

Thanks!

Removed by request of poster:  I am going to rephrase the story, so the responses make sense, simply as:   The poster doesn't get to spend holidays with her DIL and DS because they spend all their holidays with DILs FOO.


So..... our local churches don't need help on holidays.  What are some suggestions on ways to celebrate holidays so as not to be lonely and to enjoy the days w/o feeling lonely and alone and neglected?
Thanks!
