So with the holiday weekend coming up thought I would write a little post on how awkward they can be. I mean really let's face it if you are married or even just with someone and have kids or not. it comes down to who's family do you spend it with? even worse if you have divorced parents then the options double.
For us, we lived with my dad for awhile so that was easy, the in-laws live 3 hours away and we don't get there enough, well enough for me (but that's a post for another day maybe) and my mom I wish we could get over more but with the prices of things these days it is almost impossible without selling a body part.
Really we try to get everyone in as much as we can without draining ourselves and the kids. For Christmas last year we stayed here, my dad came over. my mom was in town not long after that so that worked out..and now with easter we are heading down to the in-laws to see everyone and by that I mean EVERYONE.
So how does everyone else work the holidays? is there one set of family you try to avoid, and how do you do that what excuses do you use (I am running out of ideas over here) yes this is a short post but I really don't want to get into my feelings about my upcoming trip right now, but I'm sure you can all expect an interesting post trip blog when I return lol.
