OK. This is sticky. And no you're not crazy.
Do you have an advocate where you will be who could help this particular film disappear over the holidays?
I like the idea about bringing a bunch of new movies that might push one already seen by others to the end of the line.
Not going is certainly an option you shouldn't take off the table, but that can cause a whole new bunch of problems, too. Is there a plausible excuse you could use this year for not going? By next year, I'm sure the fascination will have waned.
Some parents do not want to hear their children telling them anything about how to raise children - regardless of whether you're talking about your own children - because they feel they have "been there, done that." But your mother has not "been there, done that" in this case and if there is a way to communicate that to her so she will listen, please try. It might open a new door in your relationship.
But the bottom line is that you have to do what is best for your children and your immediate family. And sometimes what is best is not easy. I hope an option presents itself where everyone wins. Good luck.
