Apparently, he just does not enjoy spending the holidays with his wife’s family at all. There are always about thirty people in attendance– which is a big crowd. So, the gatherings are often really loud and chaotic.
On top of that, he claims that the food is dry and bland, and there is never anyone at the get-together who he truly connects with.
“It also makes me miss spending the holidays with my mom,” he added.
So, when his wife brought up their holiday plans this past week, he decided to finally let her know how he had been feeling.
And even though his wife sympathized with him, she said there was no way in hell they would be “wasting” another Christmas with his mother.
And he understood that, too, so he decided to propose a compromise. He suggested that they begin staying home every other year and celebrating the holidays at their house with just themselves and their two children.
Shockingly, though, even just mentioning the idea made his wife completely furious.
In fact, she actually blew up on him and began accusing him of being selfish.
Then, his wife claimed he was trying to ruin her holidays just because his mom is a jerk and that he does not care about their children– who love spending time with their in-laws.
“The kids do, but they are two and four years old. I think they would love anything if we made it exciting for them,” he clarified.
Regardless, his wife still told him that he needed to “act like a grown man” and just toss his feelings aside for the sake of his family.
