Thanksgiving day dilemma?

Here's the problem: last week my aunt invited my husband and I over to have Thanksgiving with her huge family and we accepted. This morning (two days before Thanksgiving) I get a call from my mom asking about our Thanksgiving plans. I told her that we would be going to my aunt's house (her sister's house) and they were thinking they would come and have Thanksgiving at our house (they live eight hours away in another state). I suggested that we should all go to my aunts house and my mom was cool with it but my dad hates going there (not sure why) and says they don't know if they will come after all. So I made the decision that we are definitely going to my aunt's house no matter what because we have been invited and accepted. I should also say that I'm not all that close with my parents or my aunt. My husband is very close to his parents and says I should have cancelled my plans with my aunt and had my parents come over to our house. Do you guys think I'm wrong? What would you do?

My parents aren't alone, they have my two younger sisters still living with them. They tend to do things at the spur of the moment without much planning and sometimes it disrupts our plans. My husband insists that it's wrong to put my aunt before my parents but they invited us first and I accepted. Why can't they just come with us to her place? I hate family drama!

First you should ask your parents of what they wanted to do and your sisters too then ask them wether to all eat with you or all go to the aunts but me,I rather stay home . Cook have deserts /coffee and can take a nap if you need too.And then you do have left overs when you go out to eat you dont have that!!!! Happy Thankgiving

YOU are correct, your husband is Wrong. Never EVER Accept an invitation and then cancel at the last minute. You are doing the right thing by going over you aunts' house because you accepted her invitation when she invited you. Your husband is wrong to just want to UP and Cancel what you already said YES to! Tell him he's Rude.

Yes you should go to your aunts like you planned.
It does sound like your parents plans fell through
and now they want to use you as a back up.
Don't do it. Just go to your aunts as planned.
Don't worry about your parents. They are 8 hours away.

Its just for a few hours and if you can put up with your folks for a few hours then you can do the samething with your aunt. Besides your aunt might suspect something if you cancel at this late date..
