My parents don't hate him, and he is invited.
I still have two advantages -- hubby has chronic insomnia, (just went to bed at 5 AM), and is disabled. Because of that, it was the truth when I told them why he wasn't there. (Couldn't sleep. Didn't feel good.)
And, since I'm disabled too, and have sleeping problems, (got up at 4 AM because I got bored with tossing and turning), sometimes I don't go for the same reasons.
