So every holiday has become too much for my husband and I. We always have 3-4 places to go, and it gets annoying. The reason is because I have a step dad, so his side of the family does something, and then my moms side of the family does something. And then we have my husbands family who does everything together. Every single holiday we shut out my moms side of the family because it's "too much" and my husband doesn't like a few people on that side. It gets frustrating for me because we have kids and I know they would like to see them every once in a while, and I would like for my kids to get to know their cousins. This Sunday for Easter, both sides of my family had invited us over for dinner. I said yes to both because we didn't have any other plans. And then yesterday, I get a text from his aunt asking if we were going to their Easter event (which we go to every year) and I said I'd let them know soon. My husband is pissed off because he thinks I should have said yes, but I'm 37 weeks pregnant and do not want to travel to 3 different places for such a small holiday. So once again, we are cutting my mothers side of the family off of the plans list because he doesn't like certain people and doesn't want to be around them. I'm trying not to let it be a big deal, it's only Easter, but it's so frustrating. The people on my moms side who are doing the Easter lunch this year just bought their first house so this is their first party there, I feel terrible for telling them we now cant make it. Sorry for the vent, but just can't take holidays anymore. We're buying a house soon too, and I'm definitely going to start having holidays there so we don't have to go anywhere anymore.
