Oh my gosh, he cooks too????? Mine doesn't even boil water!!! Whenever we see a movie where a man is making the woman a delicious dinner I sigh out loud and say, "I sure would love THAT." The hint is never taken. Clean up after dinner? I do that and thank God for the dish washer cause I'm sure he isn't gonna help. Yep, count your blessings sister boomer! [Wink]

Well my ex did all and I mean all the grocery shopping even better than I could plus he always made bacon, eggs, pancakes, fresh fruit slices and toast on Sunday mornings and then he'd do the dishes. Plus he liked to putter in the kitchen and he cooked many dinners too but didn't know which end of a hammer to use. I hired a handy man for that kind of stuff, a neighbor that was retired and worked cheap, still does. My ex would have made someone a half decen wife except he was a discustingly sloppy man and NO SEX! Couldn't find a handy man for that, well maybe but never looked...So you see there is good and bad in them all it just depends on what you're looking for....

Obviously your husband doesn't want you to go. You've gotta do what's comfortable for you and for your family. If you can't go because you know what your family needs, and they totally, I mean totally, can't live day to day without you, so be it. Adding stress to the holidays isn't going to make the holidays a holday. But, if you feel they can survive with some beforehand planning without you for a few days, go for it.

KKathy, that's really what it boils down too, I WILL NOT feel comfortable leaving them at this time. It will only stress me out trying to cram things in between Thanksgiving and the day or so after that when I would've left.

My brother is disappointed and telling me how I never do anything but he also doesn't have a wife and children so cannot relate to my situation.

Thank you for seeing why this is wrong for me right now.

The last thing you need right now is more stress. You have to go with what you feel will be best for you in the long term, and right now it sounds like staying home will be.

Maybe your mom and brother can fly up your way and spend some time with you if they need to see you so bad....?

My brother does live up here, about 45 minutes away. He's coming for Thanksgiving dinner. I would not want my mom to leave my 89 year old dad by himself. He's a typical Italian and he's very lost without her. Think Caesar Romero and that's who my dad looks like. No, she'd never leave him on his own.
