@yankeejessica, I told you years ago, that the trips back home will soon stop. Â The drive sucks, and for that drive, ya'll can take a killer cruise out of Galveston for the whole family, and not spend as much as going home!And you will get tired of not being in your home at Christmas.I know your whole family it there, but they can come and see you some too. Â If they aren't willing to ever do that, your trips back home can get even more sparse
We just refused to do this after we had kids. Â Our parents and family could come see us, but we haven't been home at Christmas in 16 years. Â Zero regrets on our part either
If you want to take the kids for a week or 2 in the summer do that. Â But save your dh's vacation days for fun times with ya'll. Â
@Fallon:
And that is exactly it. No one really appreciates what we have to go through to come "home" so it is starting to get annoying. I don't mind being with hubbys parents as I love them more than my own haha! But the constant bickering that comes from my mom when we are home just ticks me off. 4951
