[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 460232, member: 11791"] I'm with Marg. The extended family (i.e. anybody not living under our roof right now) simply does not understand - and we are painted with all sorts of skunk-stripes and other unmentionables, verbally, everytime we have to make that call. BUT... my difficult child kids' needs are more important than your... wedding, wedding anniv party, birthday party, hunting party, or whatever else. Ours are older now, and both they and we have developed strategies. IF we choose to go, it has to be worth taking an extra day or two extra days off, to allow for proper travel time, good rest, etc. The extended family can leave at 3am for a 2PM event, spend the rest of the day there, drive home half the night, and be (sort of) in shape to go to school/work the next day. NOT us. [/QUOTE]
