Holidays can quickly become stress-inducing battlegrounds if both sets of parents expect you to prioritize them.The secret is establishing a rotation system immediately after getting married. For example, Thanksgiving with her parents, Christmas with his, and alternate the following year. Alternatively, if both families live nearby, try hosting a combined celebration at your own home.
Whatever you decide, present the decision to your parents together as a united couple. Never make your spouse look like the bad guy to your own parent.
