It is your first Christmas as a married couple, and your mother and your spouse's mother each want you to spend it with them. They live in separate cities, thousands of miles apart, you and your spouse live in the middle $($literally and figuratively$)$ between them, so you cannot go to both. Here is the problem:

a$)$ If you spend Christmas at your mother's, your mother$-$in$-$law will be really unhappy, and you and your spouse will feel guilty and miserable.

b$)$ But if you spend Christmas at your mother$-$in$-$law's, your mother will be really unhappy, and you and your spouse will feel guilty and miserable.

c$)$ You will spend Christmas at your mother's or you will spend Christmas at your mother$-$in$-$law's.

Therefore d$)$ your mother will be really unhappy or your mother$-$in$-$law will be really unhappy, and you and your spouse will feel guilty and miserable.

What kind of argument $($form$)$ is this? How many ways can you think of to resolve it$?$ What are they?
