We live about a 5 hour drive from my family and generally make the trip a couple of times a year. Dc are 4 and 20 months by Christmas, and we had decided to spend Xmas away but now I'm having second thoughts not least because of stressful family dynamics do young children care where they spend the day itself? We travelled to family a lot when I was a child and I don't remember being especially put out that I wasn't in my own bed.
We had Xmas just us four last year and it was a bit disastrous with teething boob obsessed baby and tantrumming toddler. Hence trying to go somewhere with other adults to entertain the kids!
Dh family are near us but do their own thing and we don't get to see mine that much. But I want the kids to start making their own memories so is it better to stay home?
