My mother-in-law don't have her own home. She travels with her job and is only home a week every couple of Mont's. She stays at our house when she is off work.She has taken a month off and will be here in the morning. Every year since we have been married we have spent Christmas morning with just our immediate family ,my husband,my self and our 2 children.(And that's the way I like it)
Would it be hateful of me to postpone our Christmas till she is gone?
I do want to have A Christmas with her,but I also want to have Christmas with MY family like we do every year.
Any suggestions would be appreciated! Im very big on tradition and want to keep our Christmas the way it has been for the last 8 years
 
I have to tell you that you are not being very nice. You haven't had to deal with her for 8 years, so it's not going to kill you to spend this one Christmas with her. She travels and never gets to see her family, so this probably means the world to her. I'm sorry, I don't want to judge you, but you are sounding very selfish which I'm sure you're not, this is just a break in your routine, I understand that, but can't you be a little more understanding. She is YOUR family.
 
you should just do christmas with her. you only see her a few times a year. and be happy that your hubby still has his mother. your family will still be there, you will just have one extra person.
 
It would be kind of hateful but if you want to you can but if it was me i probably would see how this year turns out with her home for christmas... Come on its your mother in law if it wasn't for her your husband wouldn't be here... so just take some time and think about it its the holidays

good luck...
 
Yes it would seem hateful, plus it might upset your husband and the kids if you did that. Just go ahead and let her stay for it, who knows it might be fine after all. Trust me i feel you though me and my mother n law don't see eye to eye at all, but i had to learn to deal with her for my husbands sake and for my children. Don't worry about it everything will work out. My mother in law comes to all of our hoilday functions and we haven't hurt each other yet(lol)
 
Aw come on. The season is about love and sharing.

Proceed and make her a part of your tradition.

Where else is she supposed to go?

Everything will be great.
