Would this piss you off?

We are supposed to have Christmas tomorrow afternoon at BIL and his FI's house, along with MIL, SIL, her FI and son.  Well the snow is ridiculous and I am almost positive we will not be able to make it.  Well SIL, her FI and son left today to go stay at MIL's house.  They are still going to have Christmas tomorrow without us.  DH asked if we could just move CHristmas to a different weekend, but they won't do that. 

So.  Would you be upset?

If I got along with the inlaws, I would likely be upset. But since I don't, I'd consider it a free ticket to not see them and have my own Christmas with the fam at home.

It sucks, but I don't think I'd be too upset. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and you guys can make it.

no, but then again I reserve the right to change my mind.....

Yes I would be upset, it would make me feel like I was not important (or my family) enough to wait for.  On the flip side I would be happy to spend Christmas at home with my family and not having to pack up in the car and spend the day with the IL's.

No, but I like it when we just have the 4 of us.  I love my family, but 4 or 5 times a year is more than enough.

To be honest, no it would not piss me off. It would not even occur to me to be pissed off. Christmas is tomorrow. It's going to snow. That sucks, but it is what it is. I'd hunker down with DH and DS and enjoy Christmas in our house, then perhaps go see the ILs when the weather was better.

i think you are off your rocker to even suggest they move christmas to another weekend.

suck it up and drive or suck it up and stay home. by no means is it your IL's fault the weather sucks and they live closer than you do.

Given the history of favoritism, yes it would annoy me. I wouldn't be upset though. One christmas is enough for me, and i always say if people can't make it then too bad. I refuse to do 5000 christmases to accommodate everyone lol, but that's because having multiple christmases bothers me..

Me?  No, because I'm all about celebrating a day on the day of (e.g. I celebrate my birthday on my birthday, even if it's a Wednesday; I just do whatever I can). 

You?  I can totally see why it would piss you off and I don't blame you one bit.

Wow aren't you a biitch.  First of all, DH didn't get off work til 5 and it took him an hour and a half to drive 20 miles home.  So would YOU take your children out in that shiitty fvcking weather?  No, I doubt it.  Although you would probably burn a path in the icy roads with your attitude.  My SIL, her FI, and son live about the same distance from MIL as we do, but MIL invited THEM to stay the night, not us.  And they have a 4wd truck and quite frankly, are complete morons to be out on these roads.  In no way did I say it was their fault the weather sucks.  I was just hoping they would actually consider celebrating with EVERYONE in the family instead of just them.  It's not like our family is huge.

Oh and another point...MIL is constantly leaving us out of things.  She plays favorites with everyone, and honestly, I am tired of her leaving my girls out of things.  Normally i wouldn't care to be around them, but it is Christmas, and my girls should get attention from their family too.

This, what are they supposed to do tomorrow? Sit around and twiddle their thumbs?  Unless you are saying they don't want to see you at all for Christmas and that's what is annoying you, then I understand. But I don't think people should have to delay Christma altogether for me.

Nah, truthfully I'd probably just let it roll off my back. :-)

If I hadn't given a definite "no" to going, and plans changed without being included, hell yes I would be pissed. But I already told them I couldn't make it because of the weather, I would just assume "it is what it is"   Did MIL at least extend the invitation to her house???
