Long thread title!
I struggle with when it's putting yourself first and when it's being selfish. How do others approach this?
Current dilemma. Taking DC to visit their grandparents for 2 nights. Different country, bit of a journey, flights etc. We only really have one full day there. No other trips this summer.
I have a sibling and family there too. My mum wants me to see them. We're not at all close. I wasn't planning on seeing them. Just wanted a fun couple of days with kids and parents.
My sibling will be sad not to see me. I did a similar visit before without seeing them. It caused a row.
Is it awful to visit but not see them. Most people would feel hurt wouldn't they. Is it ok to be selfish?
My mum really wants us (siblings) to spend time together.
