[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 639742, member: 4040"] For years I hated the holidays, usually because Miss KT would do something embarrassing and tick people off, leaving me with the family fallout. Since my brother is more perfect than the rest of us, I would get snide remarks directed at my parenting skills. Hubby and I would go for the absolute minimum amount of time, make nice, and head home. So uncomfortable, year after year after year, because my mother wants everyone together at Christmas "no matter how uncomfortable it is." Yes, she actually said that. This year, however, it's a whole new ballgame. Miss KT and her husband will be here from Oregon, and my perfect brother has decided to stay home for Christmas. My mom is furious, but I'm delighted. I get to spend lots of time with my only child, who I don't see very often since she lives 14 hours away, and nobody has to be perfect. Have an exit plan, should you decide to go at all. Go late and leave early if you want. Make it about what you and Hubby want, and have a wonderful time doing it. [/QUOTE]
