Wife’s family coming for visit during Christmas…help.

Submitted by startrekfan1701d t3_z8z26w in relationship_advice

My wife’s family is coming over for Christmas 5 people total from England. They will be staying for about 2 weeks. On Christmas Eve “my” family : sister, nieces and nephews comes over and stays the night into Christmas morning, opening gifts etc…they are 5 people in total, that’s our family tradition. What’s the best way to tell my wife her family needs to stay with her sister those two days and come over for Christmas dinner. First we just don’t have enough room to sleep that many people and since her family is coming from England it will be awkward for my people not knowing them? Any advise is appreciated. Good or bad.

Have you and your wife not talked about how to incorporate her family to your family’s holiday traditions? Cuz that’s step 1.

You’ll have to compromise this year, her family are travelling thousands of miles and spending a fuck tonne of money to come and spend Christmas with you, your family are going to have to make adjustments to their traditions.

So your family get every Christmas and hers doesn't and you expect them to ship out to her sisters after they spent thousands to spend Christmas with you.

My my my you are a selfish ass aren't you.

Traditions change when you get married. Time to create some new traditions.
