It is going to be so much easier! We do Sunday supper every Sunday with his Dad so the Sunday before that I can make extra special with a holiday spin if I want. Holiday cooking for three is way easier than 16 or more. I already feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. My father in law went to his other sons for Thanksgiving so the Sunday before that I made a smaller Thanksgiving dinner for the three of us. It worked out wonderfully.

Janie- I would take the bull by the horns and as the cook- make the plans YOU wish to. Your kindness, time, and money have been taken for granted in the past... If you are inclined to- I say keep the menu simple- cook the food- invite the guests- and whomever doesn't like it- tough. Flim-flamming about it- changing one's mind and flip-flopping... let them do that when THEY are buying the groceries and doing the cooking. You do too much for too many- you deserve a break, sweety!

Time for "potluck" dinner - EVERYONE brings something and you will bring a dessert! You put your foot down and tell them that you will bring a dessert this year and that it is their turn to cook.
