New mom refuses to invite husband's parents to Christmas despite inviting her own family, claims she's still "healing" from having a baby: 'You're not still healing, you're manipulating the situation'

Christmas means something different to everyone, but for most people who celebrate it, it's a time to get together with family. It might be the only time of year when you come together to celebrate family. Maybe you all live in different places, and it's the one time when you can drop everything to see each other. Or maybe you define your own traditions. Either way, though, you're probably negotiating family in some way or another. But things can get complicated when you start your own family. 

When you marry someone who also celebrates Christmas, you might have to make some tough choices about where you're spending the holiday, and with whom. Compromise is always in order. But compromise means that both parties are making a sacrifice, not just one. But when one voice is more powerful in a duo, it might be easy to be overpowered and outnumbered. That's what happened in this story, where a couple who had just given birth were facing what to do with their holiday plans. The wife wanted just her family over, which put her husband in a tough spot.
