[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 216892, member: 3184"] This is the first year I am in the spirit. Usually I am so down, but this year not so. I don't know if it is the stuff I am taking to combat depression, or if I am just finally at peace with certain things. My family is not perfect and that is ok. It is really ok. For so many years I wanted everything perfect, but it was not to be. I am ok with how we are. husband is antisocial and odd, well he has BiPolar (BP) II, had an awful childhood, and many head injuries when he was younger. Who wouldn't be!!! difficult child is, well difficult child. easy child and I live with the two of them, so what do you expect from us??? As for gifts, my kids don't believe in Santa and I think that is helpful. They know where their gifts come from and know we are not rich and they cannot have everything they want, tho they do not always act like it.lol. I made our Thanksgiving dinner tonight, ate with family yesterday. Today difficult child's daytrana rolled up so he was super wound. He wanted to take a bath at dinner time, and I let him. Why make him, or try to make him, sit still? He cannot, and he cannot help it. It was not big deal, and no one made it into one. He took a bath, and easy child, husband, a friend and I all ate (very understanding friend). It was a nice quiet meal and difficult child is clean, and thank god asleep. As is everyone but me.
