[QUOTE="Star*, post: 442714, member: 4964"] Well, (laughing) this is why my "family" consists of an ever shrinking number of people - now? My Mom. Do I have relatives? Why I'm sure I do. The last time that I saw them? When my Mother, my Father and I buried my Grandmother. I was pregnant with my son, and a pall bearer for her casket in snow covered cemetery fields. Why? Because her GRANDSONS were too "Distraught" crying over her death and putting on a good show for each other after not having visited her for oh I dunno fifteen years while we all lived in the same town, and she lived with my parents. So yeah - they knew when she came to visit and were always welcome. Yet - they were standing outside the funeral home "dividing" up her few meagar possessions. I blew the doors off the funeral home, told them all to go to a certain far South place, never EVER darken my Mothers home, called them foul names, got a nod from my Father, and myself, the funeral men and a few great uncles carried my Grandma to her resting place with them tyring to get in on the show at the last minute. So yeah - relatives? You can HAVE 'em. As far as your family Daisy? My thoughts would go to calling and giving your family their flat out early Christmas present. Since they are like they are? I would call. I would say "You know what Mom? It occurs to me that my and my familes driving 800 miles, even with a seven week notice for you to take off a few hours from your part time job and join my family at a restaurant for a couple hours for a dinner that we surely would have picked up the tab for then gone back to our pre-reserved hotel room and NOT inconvenienced Grandma and Grandpa - is TOO much of a bother for everyone. So, we have decided to stay out of your hair, and take the advice of a friend, and go where we will enjoy our time and our presence will be enjoyed. (please do not interrupt) ...This will not only NOT inconvenience anyone, but since it will now MOST assuredly inconvenience you for NOT inconveniencing you? It will give you something to gripe about for the next six months to EVERYONE amongst yourselves - so consider it your Christmas present - since Christmas is six months away.
