Is it right not to be with your kids new years eve. Mil has offered to have ds and dd for the night so me and dh can go away for the night. New Years Eve hasn't been celebrated in our house for a couple of years as dd was born late Dec then my g'dad had a stroke New Year Even and died a few days later. I've always thought of Christmas being for the kids and new year for the adults. But now I'm feeling a bit guilty about not being with my kids even though they'll be asleep and not know whats going on!!!
