AITA for telling my husband we’re spending too much time at holiday gatherings?

We were at my in-laws for Easter.

We celebrated on Saturday, from 10 am to 5 pm.

I get it’s a holiday, but AITA for telling my husband that’s an excessive amount of time for a family gathering?

This woman thinks seven hours for a family gathering is too much.

I’m not saying we eat and run.

But on my side, we spend like a solid 4 to 5 hours at a holiday dinner.

That’s an absolute maximum.

But seven?

He thinks she only has a problem with it because it’s his family’s event.

All his family’s gatherings are like this.

Except for Christmas, which is a two-day celebration with an overnight stay.

We live 20 minutes from them.

My husband told me this is totally normal.

He said I’m taking issue with it because it’s his family.

It can be normal for families to spend the whole day together on holidays.
