Thank you ladies. I knew I needed to come and get a quick pat on the rear for being a brat. He's great about it even though I'm sure he misses being with them during certain holidays. But he also has this HUGE family,a nd I have just me, my parents, sister and uncles son. So they really miss us when we're not there. I feel bad for leaving them. I sometimes feel like crying on the way home. I know I need to cut the cord. But I always suggest going to his families house so he doesn't feel like I am keeping him away. Or I try to find an amicable route so everyone gets to be with their family. Like christmas weekend we were with my parents, on christmas eve and work up christmas day, had lunch then drove 2 hours back to his parents for christmas dinner. So we try but it's hard. I wish my parents would move here

That's my solution..haha..You are right, we are so lucky to have so many wonderful people in our lives to share with. I have seen the error of my ways
