AITA Because I want to spend Christmas at our home and not at my in-laws’.

My wife (30) and I (28) are debating where to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

My wife wants to go to her parents’ house, which is a four-hour drive from where we live.

Then, we will need to return to our house because she has work in the morning of the 26th.

He refused to go to his in-laws’ house.

I told her that I don’t want to go because, for sure, I am the driver and that will be tiring for us and our son (3).

And she said that her sister can fetch them from our house if I don’t want to go to them.

I told her, “Okay, I think I’m going to spend Christmas alone.”

Then, she said, “Fine, no problem.”

He doesn’t really want to spend Christmas alone.

Now, I’m here to ask for advice.

I want to spend this holiday with them, but her family is so clingy.

For sure, her parents are going to be mad at me when I don’t let them come.

I’ll choose being home alone at Christmas than go to somebody else’s house tired and with nothing to do except wait to go home.

That’s a tough decision. It’s too bad he doesn’t seem to like his in-laws.
