Am I wrong for wanting to stay home for thanksgiving ??

Chontey

This year I lost my nanny which is basically my mom(she raised me from the day I was born) this will be my first year without her. My husband wanted to go to his cousins for the holiday but expect me to cook as well. I rather just be home cook and enjoy my kids. I don’t really want to go out and I haven’t gone out for the holidays in years. I enjoy my own family time on these days and the comfort of my home. I know I won’t enjoy it. I would of decided to go but, cooking the food is hours of work and cleaning up (I do this all alone no help my kids help with certain things but I do most the work no partner doesn’t help he just gets to relax) I don’t want to hurt his feelings but it’s just I don’t feel in that type of mood another time will be fine but holidays I just want my small family. Should I just go and suck it up for him? Or tell him I’m not up for it this year?

His request is very unfair to you. He needs help if you have dinner at home. And if you do end up going to his cousin’s you shouldn’t have to make a whole other meal as well. That’s overkill

No you're not wrong. Tell him you would prefer a small family get together at home.I'm sure he won't want that from your words so you jabe to think. Would you be okay with him going alone and you spend it with your kids. If yes, suggest that. If not tell him you could all go but he needs to help. It's a lot of work for one person to do. And he needs to keep his promise to help.

Thank you so much. I definitely don’t mind him going to spend time with his cousin. The kids actually wanted to stay home and be together.
