[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 395656, member: 1514"] It is very hard when there are mixed families. Every adult has to step up and act like an adult for the childrens sake. After all, the kids are the ones who are most important in the scheme of things. Now its not such a big deal with my boys but back when they were younger, we did Xmas day either at my house and my mom came here or we went to her house right after the morning festivities. It was no more than an hour and a half drive. Then we went to my Dads either the week before or the week after. Worked out well. Thanksgiving worked the same way...we had thanksgiving with my mom for the most part but went to see my dad the weekend after. My kids just grew up assuming there were two celebrations to holidays...lol. Now with the grandkids, especially Keyana, she gets more like 3. Though this year it will only be two. Normally she gets Xmas at her mom and her grandma Linda's house, Xmas at our house and then we go up to Jamie's for Xmas with Hailie and Mikey. Thats a whole lot of Xmas! Thankfully there is two weeks to do it! This year we wont be able to do it that way because she will spend most of her holiday with her mom since her mom is moving out of state and I dont want to take her away for any period of time right now. I would love to take her up to visit Hailie for the Xmas but I doubt they will let her go. We will just do her Xmas over New Years. We just make it work. We are adults. Cory isnt happy but he is being a grown up about it even if he is sulking a bit. I have had to sit him down and make him think how he would feel. Grown ups put their feelings aside for the good of the children. If you have to suck it up and put on a happy face to be around folks you dont like just to make a kids Xmas happy...well you do it. Thats what being a grown up is. [/QUOTE]
