My husband doesn't want to go to his Dad's house tomorrow, because they got in a fight tonight about his brother. His brother makes comments to our children about how much they cry and how much better he is. He made comments throught the whole night and he got mad at his Dad and his step mother for not supporting him. My husband hates his brother, his brother is a mean person, and his wife finally got pregnant and I hope they get ten times fold what they are doing to our children. My husband likes to drink on the holidays with soda, and his stepmother was drinking more than him and she said to him " Your Dad told you to not drink anymore at our house" When his Dad did not say that. I have to go by myself to their house and I just can't believe this on christmas, what should I do?

It's my son's third xmas and my daughter first. My son is just upset that nobody can enjoys things like he wants them to be. He bought me a ring and pearl earring and he wants everyone to be flabbergasted like I am.

Wow, you must be my sister. Your family sounds just like mine. I only to family gatherings when I can't get out of it. Just grin and bear it. Don't stoop to their level. If you can't be friendly, at least be courteous and polite. Then wish everybody a Merry Christmas and get out as soon as you can.

This is no way to spend Christmas! Why do you have to go to their house? Have your own Christmas at home; you don't want your children growing up with such an unpleasant idea of Christmas.
You could visit them briefly, just enough to be pleasant, if you want to.
Play with your children, have a really good time. Remember what Christmas is really about.
Are you wondering how to get out of this without being rude?
How about saying, "I'm terribly sorry, but we just won't be able to come tomorrow." I know they will get excited, but try not to act upset or angry.

who needs all this drama, stay at home with your husband and your kids and start anew tradition A happy Christmas for everyone, no arguments, no fights no bickering, just Christmas joy, Imagine the experience of it, and do enjoy, You might have to block all the negativity at the door, and phone, but that is simple do not answer the door or phone, you might put a note on the door with all the rules for people who might enter, and put a greeting on your answering machine saying that you are enjoying the holiday and will get back later
