Changing holiday traditions when you have children
I'm having an issue about Christmas with my mom. We usually go to my aunts house Christmas eve my cousins for Christmas breakfast and my mothers for Christmas Day dinner.
But when I have my baby I want the tradition to change and have Christmas eve at my house so we don't have to travel that day and because my husband wants his family to be apart of it and because we really don't enjoy being at my aunts (they are bad drinkers) and last year was miserable.
My mom is upset and doesn't want me to do that and she is going to make my life hell over it. I also think she is scared of them because they can be really nasty. But she is Saying I'm not being nice and I'm leaving people out. My mother even suggested my husbands family just go to my aunts, but that would be aweful and I don't like how my aunts treat them.
my brother and husband and I all believe my mom needs to come be with her own family and stop trying to make my aunts Christmas eve work. Last year they got into a screaming fight.
I really want to make traditions for my own family that are more positive and I want to include my husbands family he hasn't spent Christmas with them since we got married. any opinions ?
