I wanted to add, I would give almost ANYTHING to be able to spend just one more yom tov with my parents (my in-laws were not frum, so we reserved the chol hamoed part for visits with them). My parents died 17 years ago (within a couple of months of each oterh), and my children really lost out as a result, not growing up with Bubby and Zaydie. Parents are not around forever. Don’t let this be an issue. Try to find a compromise. Maybe invite THEM to YOU.
