Here's my dilema. Since my wife and I got together, we always said we'd alternate who we spent Christmas with although she says we didn't.
Two years ago it was her parents turn so we went to them then last year, my parents went away so we did the day with her parents again.
Now, she won't come to my parents this year, saying that they don't do Christmas "right" even though we're meeting up, doing the present thing, all sitting down for a meal together (turkey of course) then eventually going our separate ways.
The only difference between her family and mine is that mine don't insist on what feels like forced social activities and if, for example a nephew wants to go and play the new computer game he's been bought then he is allowed to and is not made to stay with entire family in the living room.
Basically, I'm going to my parents, she's going to hers. Am I being unreasonable in thinking that she is totally in the wrong about this and should come with me instead?
