Sorry. Its long and confusing...
Ok, so FI and I bought our home in March. We had a Housewarming party in May. At that time, FI announced to his mother that he would like to host Thanksgiving Dinner at our house (instead of his sisters house as usual) because he's been very excited about having a home to share during the holidays. We had his parents over about a month ago for dinner and FI reminded his parents that he wanted to host Tgiving here. All was well.
Well, two weeks ago, FMIL announces that one of FIs nephews wants to host T-giving dinner at his home at 3pm so his wife "J" can have her family there. No problem. We're hosting at 5pm, and anyone who wants to come is welcome, but we are not going there because my family will be in town and they don't know FIs extended family.
Then FMIL calls me Friday to say how disappointed she is that "J" is wanting to host T-giving dinner and that she is causing the family to split up (thinking that we are hosting dinner because we do not feel comfortable going to "J"s house) She then calls FIs sister to ask if she will host dinner to "restore tradition".
Meanwhile FI is losing his mind because every time he talks to his mother a) she doesn't let him speak and b) when he does get to speak, she doesn't listen and then c) when she finally hears something, she changes information arround making it incorrect. Somehow she has conveniently forgotten that all along we wanted to host Tgiving here. And she talkes to everyone separately and says "Well so and so said this..." putting words in peoples mouths. So frustrated. . .
So at this point, we are having dinner here at 5pm Thursday and we have no idea who is or is not coming from FIs family.
