I think in reunion, it’s important to balance the needs of your family with the needs of your DD. Letting one or the other go is going to create terrific stress for you and you need to be taking care of yourself so that you can continue to take care of everyone else. You’re a mom so you already know that
I can totally see your husbands point. A family vacation is about the kids you are parenting and being able to spend time with them doing “fun stuff”. Secondly, it’s you about you and hubby re-connecting, relaxing etc. I’m not sure I would be too excited (if I were him) to throw in an unknown factor of an additional family member that the kids don’t know. I could probably get over that but then throw in another person (amom) who has made it clear she is not comfortable… Yeah, I don’t think I would want my kids exposed to that tension on vacation.
With that, I think I have more questions (sorry lol): How’s your DD doing with all of this? Does she know how uncomfortable her mom is? Was amom planning on joining her DD for the vacation visit?
- I just read your next post and let me say... OMGosh!!!! I can NOT imagine your shock!!! I have lots and lots of words about that but I think I will refrain... Oh my ((( Hugs)))
