11 christmases of illness. Every single year since my DS was born someone DH or one of the kids has been ill. We have had 7 xmas days with an ill family member and 2 new years and 2 of the times in between. Every year I plan to see family (both sides) and every time we have to cancel. Genrally we are a healthy family and they only ever get ill over christmas!!! why??? I thought as we had done 10 years of illness that would be it you couldn't possibly do 11. I almost didn't make plans this year but I used my optimism. Yet again we can't see my brother who now thinks we hate him and this is all a ploy to not see him and his family. I am so pissed off as I spend my whole 2 weeks holiday every year being nurse. They all take vitamins and are healthy all year so why 23rd Dec to 3rd Jan is someone always ill. AIBU to want a day off playing nurse today and go off to the sales on my own??? I would go to see my brother but the bloody train strike but don't have a car and the train strike makes it impossible. DH says I need to stay to look after him - playing nurse is wearing a bit thin after 11 bloody years!!!!
