As it says in the title
DH refusing to have my grandparents for xmas dinner, says he cant stand to have xmas dinner with them as they shared with us yesterday that they voted tory , we are both very left wing and have always voted labour
Not only does he not want to have xmas dinner with them he doesn't want to socialise at all with them.
What can I do ? Grandfather is very political so this topic will be brought up
Dh says he cant stand the selfish old bastards and doesn't want to know them

@Thornhill58 So you conservatives can say what you want, and the lefties should just.....put up with it and be tolerant? Fuck that!

@Rubyupbeat Read the OP's other follow up posts, it's not just about politics, the grandparents mock poor people and the homeless. It is a LOT more than just the OP's first post. They are not people I would want near my children or in my home. And, the OP's parents don't speak to the grandparents, and her own sister is NC with the grandparents. So clearly, the grandparents ARE the issue. Lastly, the DH did not ask her to sever all ties. He just said he didn't want to speak to them.

Saranade I did say that at all. I said in general people should know when it's appropriate to talk politics. I don't bring my views up unless I know they have a similar mind set. Works both ways.

Just popping in to ask what happened ?

The drip feeding in this confused the issue. The OP gives a totally different point of view to the OP's follow up posts. I do wonder why she arranged things this way rather than writing a more rounded OP.
