Situation 805: “I don’t want to spend Thanksgiving with my wife’s family.”

Good morning! Dear Sandy and DJ Ewrek hope all is well. So here goes my situation, I have been married for 10 years now with my wife, and we have 2 kids together. So every year for as long as we’ve been together we have spent the holidays with my wife’s family. They’re a very tight family and they do everything together which is cool, but I don’t want to do it this year and my wife is up set!!! She said to me ” how can you do this to me?… My parents are older now and you never know when it could be there last holiday.” My response was “I get it, but you see them all the time and we have been doing this for the last 10+ plus years with your family and I am ready for you to cut the cord and start our own family traditions, plus to be honest with you I am also tired of the “who has more and who’s life is better ” contest that goes on between her brothers and sisters. I just want to enjoy my time with her and my kids and she says I am taking time from our kids and their grandparents. I don’t care to spend it with my side of the family, we aren’t as big or as close as them. I told her why can’t we just have Thanksgiving us 4 here at our house. She is not about that. I’m thinking if she doesn’t want to do it just us four, then she can go with the kids to her family’s house and I’ll just stay home and watch some football. I know she’s going to be mad at me for that. Should I just suck it up and go, or should I do whatever I want and just stay home? (email your situation: listeners@957thebeatfm.com)
