Usually one year we spend Christmas w/ my parents and New Years with my in-laws and the following year the other way around!!
Last year we spend 1/2 day with each of them in x-mas and new years ... But this year my parents are inviting us to travel for new year's weekend ...My hubby say yes but we will not go with my parents on Christmas , which I told them we can go 1/2 a day with them and the rest with my in-laws .. Usually my kids will have more fun at my parents because my in-laws can't stand too much noise of the kids running around, singing and all that and my kids like to go with my parents house and spend x-mas !!
What can I do?? I don't want my hubby to feel bad and so as my in-laws !! But the thruth and my hubby knows that too we have more fun at my parents .... Should I just don't go at my parents and stay at my in-laws or 1/2 and 1./2 a day to spend time with both???!!! ANy suggestions on what will be the best thing to do !!! :) MERRY X MAS TO ALL!!!!

Your question is also what to do with the children.
Here's a proposal: See if your parents will keep the grandchildren for those 1 or 2 days while you and hubby visit his parents for Christmas. Then return and have Christmas with your parents and children. Something for everyone. Half-days make things rushed.
Do New Years as stated.

It sounds like,if you are not going to spend any time at your in-laws on new years, that you should spend Christmas with them. My husband and I always do 1/2 and 1/2, but not on new years. Just Christmas. But then again, I can't imagine not seeing your family on Christmas...Maybe do something on Christmas Eve? Or a shorter amount of time ON Christmas? Good Luck! I know how it feels!

Sorry, hun. I have to say that you must spend the day with your in laws since you are going away with your parents for New Years. The kids will survive one day with the in laws and have a great time for New Years. Compromise is the key to a good marriage.

Ask your in-laws if they fancy having you and the children for all day Christmas or just half a day. As you hint, they will probably say half a day. Then tell them that you will be travelling with your parents for new years and are they sure. Whatever the in laws decide, I would be inclined to agree with. Your parents should not mind in the least or if they do, they are wrong....................

Do what ever will provide the best holiday for you and your family. I say spend some time with both families on Christmas and then go traveling with your parents. Just go at it in away where nobody's feelings are hurt.

You didnt say what your husband said to your suggestion of doing 1/2 and 1/2 on xmas. I take it he said no.
Think of it this way if HIS family invited you to travel on New Years, would you be open to do the 1/2 1/2 on xmas?

Take your kids to your parents house, the people that enjoy having the kids around and understand that they make noise and have no issues about it unlike the gripy inlaws.

a million) celeb for u 2) the youngsters are previous sufficient to say the position they favor to bypass, sit down them down with ur hubby & ask them, yet pls do not positioned any pressure on them. it should be large in the experience that they could reunite with thier organic and organic kin yet u won't be able to make their minds up for them. i'd clarify the difficulty to them and then supply them sometime to pick. Are the youngsters vacationing a procedures from u, if definite then imagine two times b/4 u make judgements. Ur mom in regulation might want to understand ur difficulty because she is a lady a useless ringer for u re(if it replaced into her wat would she do) remember blood is thicker than water, enable the youngsters understand their heritage for destiny causes. i'm hoping i have made experience to. good success

I think that you and your husband should not worry about what any of the family thinks, do what will be fun for the kids, go to your parents, you dont need any grinches messing up their fun, :)
