[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 442605, member: 1514"] I have no idea why people can be this way. My step-mom always kept me and my kids away from her precious kids even though we were all adults when she married my father. I thought it would be wonderful to have family get togethers at holidays and such so our kids could know each other but I guess I was asking too much. I watched my "step" nephews grow up in photo's. My middle son is very hurt by my step-mom since my dad has died. She is really the woman he has considered his grandmother his whole life since she married my father before he was born. She has basically shut my kids out now and that hurts him especially since he lives an hour from her. He would love to go visit her now but he doesnt feel welcome. Heck, I dont feel welcome. Daisy...we just cant pick our relatives. We can pick our friends and if the relatives just arent worth it maybe its time to stop trying. They know where you live. Its your vacation and maybe you should spend it doing something really fun for your family instead of torturing yourselves. I hear Great Wolf Lodge is really nice! [/QUOTE]
