[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 396378, member: 47"] I don't see anything werid about it - If he leaves work at 8ish and gets to your family's house a little after nine - thats about an hour, hour and a half. Surely you don't expect him just to keep the car running and toss a pizza in the door and leave LOL Honestly, as a child of divorced parents, I would have given anything to have my parents get along for our sake, even if only for the holidays - but the hatred of each other between them plus my mothers hatred of his girlfriend was of utmost importance to them and us kids were the ones that suffered. I get that its difficult when dealing with x's, holidays or any other time of the year, but there are kids involved. As much as mine makes me wanna claw at my face, I have made sure he still is considered a member of the family, for our kids sake, especially during Holiday's and despite the fact that the boys are in their mid 20's. Drives my mother up the wall when she hears he has been invited for Thanksgiving/Christmas, doesn't understand why I just cannot "be done" with the relationship and never see him or mention his name ever again, but to me, that link for the boys is more important. Even at their age, they would be beyond extremely upset if I decided to break one of our traditions and "not" invite their father to spend time with us. Marcie [/QUOTE]
