Yes, but I'd give anything to be back in the situation where I *had* to spend time with the in-laws, aunts, etc. Seeing your kids for a few hours xmas eve/xmas morning then going back to an empty house is far shittier than having to donate some time once a year to people you may find boring, imo. Those people may really enjoy your company, even if not vice versa, so cheer up and know the crappy part doesn't last long and is ALWAYS over at some point
