[QUOTE="Jena, post: 216949, member: 4514"] Good morning, First of all I am sorry to hear that your stress (on any level) is beginning over the next holiday. I'm going to give my two cents lol, yet I am not "up" on what you went thru last year. You were all "blessed" :angel:with me last January lol, so I wasn't around for the holidays than. Yet from what you wrote L is 26, living with boyfriend for 4 years and last year you had a rough time of it in regards to the holidays. I'm going to take a line from my Mom who is believe it or not teaching me a whole lot this past year in regards to boundaries. She says "I've raised my children, all 4 of you, I'm no longer doing the big holidays, i've done them for years, I'm also not catering to any type of "drama". I deserve to experience my holidays in the most stressfree and enjoyable way possible." She's a little over 60 now, and has officially drawn the line with me boyfriend, my brothers their girlfriends and wives. I don't blame her either. So, I don't think inviting you and stating would you like to come spend christmas morning here, well if so and so doesn't come i don't know if i'll do it. hmm that isn't a true invite. no, sorry your her mother. Nor should you be expected to bring tons of gifts for her at 26, and i also agree it's time for her to start her own traditions now. Fact that her and boyfriend do not share the holidays in a sense with either family going to the other's is a bit odd i will have to say. I wouldn't blame you for being suspicious with whatever strife you had to go through last year, I would be also. So, anyhow I think you should lay the law down once again, and hopefully things will fall into place. I'm quite sure knowing you now the way I have come to thru here you have gone above and beyond on many a holiday and other events as well and you don't need or deserve any type of holiday drama this year. So, there's my two cents for what it's worth. I hope you have a good day, and don't have to deal with anything stress over it. :) [/QUOTE]
