Making a declaration....please note:
"No more Holidays"
to be celebrated with our children in our home on the day of whateva event.
It is just to hard every time a holiday rolls around. It is a conflict of interest every single time...both sons and both wives.
I hate to hear the kids fighting, arguing over where to go for dates of celebration.
It takes all and I do mean all the fun out it for me....so I will put a stop to it on my end.
It does make me sad.....but not as sad as I am when I stumble for words- when caught in a count back conversation of who did what -when and where.
I still have both my parents so any celebration will include the Great Grandparents and a few cousins as well. That can continue....for a long time, a very long time if I am lucky.
Hubster made the comment...just look at the money we will save.
Laughing....I do go overboard.
I don't think I ever made the cross over from mom to grand mom.
It's time...the only difference being I will never insist on a Holiday split or any other compromised arrangement knowing that there is unhappiness lurking in the bunch.
Most years- 365 days with a holiday schedule typically includes Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and the day after Thanksgiving, a winter break that includes Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, the day after Christmas, and New Year's Day, Memorial Day and Independence Day.
There is a whole bunch of other days to enjoy the company of the boys and their families.
So I say this sincerely- go and have fun.
Get outta here! Stop the damn arguing ....and just go.
(laughing) we really want only the grandkids anyways.
