Dear Annie: Our family holiday dinner plans are getting too complicated

As the holiday season approaches, I am facing a dilemma and I wonder if you have any ideas. My husband and I each have adult children from previous relationships, none together. My parents will not host any holiday gatherings at their home. If we want to have a gathering, we must invite them to our house. My husband’s parents prefer to host at their own home. So in the past, we have done two separate dinners for each holiday.

Annie, we didn’t ask her to bring anything at all, and we already always cook the turkey at our house and cut it before coming to dinner. So I know that isn’t the reason. But I have already invited my family. My husband suggested that we go to his parents’ house earlier in the day and then host ours. That’s way too much. My parents are upset that they won’t be eating with their step-grandchildren. I don’t know what else to do.
