GI-
I have to agree with JJ on the options- let it continue and deal with it, or adress the other Grandma and accept the potential fall out.
You may also want to deal with "family business" at other specific times and not at a holiday gathering.

And why did this all of a sudden become a problem?? Ten years and a habit is ingrained. The other grandma is as much a fixture in your son's family as his wife and their children (yes, even the one that isn't blood relation). I don't feel sorry for your situation but I do feel sorry for you, Gi. If advise is hard to digest, it's usually because it's brutally honest and likely the right advise to follow.

GI - your story changes more than I don't know what. It is almost like you're making it up as you go along.

GI-
If I understand this correctly, you are saying the other G-ma and DIL were fine with your request that she not attend this gathering, and suddenly your DIL was not ok with it. Is that a fair summary?

OK. Not sure what the ham has to do with it, but moving on...
Some of your posts seemed to attack the other Gma, which IMHO brought it to a level of you not liking her. Regardless, your initial post was asking whether you were selfish for making the request of the other G-ma not to attend the function, and most feel you are being selfish with that request.
As far as your DIL flip flopping, only she can explain that.

The real question is what did DIL do with said special ham? Let's keep it on track, OK?

I want to know what is so special about the ham.
Do we need to start a ham thread in the Cooler?

Doesn't unthawed really mean frozen? As in, it's not thawed any more?
