Someone always misses out on something and no one is ever happy. Occasionally my husband and I take turns each year with which family's events will take precedence. But that hasn't been fun either.
This year my mother finally decided she would start doing all holidays a day early so that her kids could spend the real holiday with their spouse's family. It has turned out soo nice. No more running from one family to the other on christmas, easter...and my mother has us all to herself all day. |
What a great idea. At least your mom came up with a great idea. Try convincing either one family to do it a day earlier
Sheesh..It's great when they think of it on their own so it's not pushed on them...but I may suggest it.
