I'd really appreciate any words of advice.
Our DCs are first/only grandchildren on both sides and we are under massive pressure from both families to have lots of time with them over the holidays. We have always alternated and effectively done two Christmases. As it stands we've got a 5 hour drive to my massive extended family, staying 5 nights with them all, then off to DH's family (3 hr drive) for 3 nights, then home (2 hrs away).
DH hardly gets any holiday, and I really wish we were able to spend this time together rather than driving around the place. I've not been feeling great this year (currently on sertraline for depression), and resent the way my family don't remotely check if the plans work for me and my children.
The other side of the coin is that my Dad is ill. Everything ok at the moment, but we never know when things might get worse.
AAAAH I guess I ought to just suck it up and go, but I feel so drained and angry. Help! x
