My younger brother and I married siblings, so we have the same in-laws. Our mother in law recently passed away from a very long battle with Stiff Person's Syndrome. Our father in law is now moving in to my younger brother's home (with my husband's younger sister) to live with them.
I am hosting the "Maiden Name" side of the family for Thanksgiving on the Saturday after Thanksgiving Day and then Christmas on the Saturday after Christmas.
My sister in law is hosting Thanksgiving the "Married Name" side at her place on Thanksgiving Day and on Christmas Day.
Each side of the family has additional extended family that will be attending holiday events. I would prefer not to combine and just have one big gathering. Is it reasonable for my father in law to attend all events with the "Maiden Name" side?
To be perfectly honest, I really don't want him at EVERYTHING. Am I off base about this?
What say the Dis?
