Carolyn Hax: Fiancé won't even discuss deviating from Mom's plans on holidays
Dear Carolyn: Although my fiancé is an only child, he is part of a large, extended family. This family has traditions for everything — Easter, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, St. Patrick's Day, Fourth of July, Super Bowl — down to which plates can be used, how the table can be set, the food allowed, etc.
