Ok all bare with me ok....
my wife's mom decided to leave her hubby on Good Friday of this year after 42 yrs of marriage...
Holiday ruined....
Fast forward mother's day we did my daughter's
recital in laws show sit 6 seats apart and we go
to dinner and her dad doesnt go another holiday
ruined...
Father's day we had a lil bbq for her dad her mom is bent another holiday ruined....
the july 4th we got an invited to go to my brother's house for the 4th,,,,we decided to go
and enjoy the pool and my family...we had great time... well her dad had a heart attack yesterday
and her mom is pouting that we didnt go with her family for the holiday...
my wife deciced to go be the "happy people" (her words nit mine) lol
she has been caught in the middle of her parents problems..she needed a time away now her life is hell....
Maybe i'm an ass BUT last 7 yrs we spent MY birthday at her parents house , last 7 yrs we spent 6 yrs with her parents of july 4th..last 7 yrs we did father's day at her family's house..last 7yrs we 6 mother's days with her mom.
every thanksgiving , halloween and christmas day with her family..we spent every chistmas eve with my family 3 of those we did christmas eve at our hiuse with both families but all christmas eve we left my family's house to go to her family's house.
i think i have been more than understanding
i have missed my dad's birthday , my mom's birthday my daughter's birthday cousin's birthday.
i have settled for phone calls....my daughter and cousin live 1 hr south and parent's and brother 2 hrs east...and it is hard with 2 lil one's and a special needs child,,but we make it work...
sooooooo why do feel so bad that we spent time with my family this year?? were supposed to go to
the airbase with her parents and pretend everything is ok??? i dont but holidays suck!!!
