Do I give in and travel over the holidays?

Tagged as: Family<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (1 December 2014) 2 Answers - (Newest, 1 December 2014)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Am I being unreasonable? We have visited my mother in laws for the last few years over the christmas holidays, this year I have said I would like not to go. The thing is my husbands teenage children who don't live with us have basically said if we don't go then they may not come over to visit us, my husband is now back tracking on me about going after all. I am not sure whether to give in and go or stick to what we both agreed. I have to work over the christmas period and don't really want to travel on my few days off. My mother in law who would love to see us understands, but I don't want my husband to feel torn about what his children have said. Do I give in and do what they want to keep the peace?

So_Very_Confused agony auntIs there a way your husband can go without you for the few days it takes to attend to his spoiled children?

he's basically letting the kids blackmail him which does not bode well for when they become adults, but it's his call to make as they are HIS children.

Since reason and logic is foremost

Ask yourself are you

Second is back tracking breaking his word to you ?

And secondly to respond to an implied threat isn't really in the spirit

Of the holiday

You are as worthy as any of them

And confrontation is difficult

However , a united front , you and him, to the family is a bonding "we".

I hope you give yourself permission to count .
