OK, hereâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s my Thanksgiving dillema.
My husband is my 2nd marriage. Step-dau. & her family live in southern California. My son and his family also live in southern California. They have newborn triplet girls that canâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t be exposed to a lot of people for the first few months. They were seriously premature, but are doing well.
I also have a daughter and grandchildren that live in our town.
My husband wants to spend turkey day at his daughterâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s house. She has a good sized home, but also a good sized family of 3 kids and a husband. All her inlaws will be there – add 8 more. Also included is her mother – my husbandâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s ex-wife, who will be doing most of the cooking. Probably also there will be my step-son and his family which also includes 2 newborn twins. Currently Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m at odds with this step-son, and donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t feel comfortable with attending a family function that includes him and my hubbyâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s ex along with a total of 20 or more people.
I have two other options. I can either stay at my sonâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s house and cook them dinner, or I can be with my daughter and other 2 grandkids. In other words at home with a TV dinner is preferable to being in the zoo at the step-daughterâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s. I know I should probably go with the hubby, but I just canâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t bring myself to do this. I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t think my husband cares much whether Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m there or not, and I prefer not. Am I being unreasonable?
