WWYD: Holiday Plans with Families
We are planning to head to DH's grandmother's house for Christmas (leaving christmas eve ). My parents are keeping our dog as well as my sister and BIL's animals because they leave for Chicago on Christmas Day. It sounds like my parents will be driving my sister and bil to Raleigh to catch their plane on christmas day. I spoke with my mom the other day and she was asking if we were returning the day after christmas. I told her I was planning to because I didn't want to leave all the animals with them when she is expected to work the day after. I just don't like the idea of dumping all that on my parents over the holidays. Well I ran this whole idea by DH the other day and he was saying that he feels guilty leaving his grandmothers house the day after...that we should really leave the 27th instead. Am I wrong to think that I don't want to wear out my welcome with my parents watching the dog? I feel like I understand where he is coming from in wanting to visit with his family but at the same time I don't want my parents to resent us because they feel like they got dumped with a bunch of animals for the holidays. Especially with them spending 4 hours in the car to Raleigh christmas day and then my mom having to return to work the day after. I feel like we are fortunate in that we have families nearby that are willing to keep the dog when we go out of town so we don't spend a fortune on boarding fees. What do you think? What would you do in this situation?
Re: WWYD: Holiday Plans with Families
i understand... we hate to feel like we're imposing on friends/family leaving the pup with them. honestly, i'd probably just pay to board your dog. then you don't have to feel like you're imposing on your family but can still visit. at least, that's what i'd do...
good luck!
I see your point. IMO, I'd try to reason with DH and help him understand you view. Maybe by expressing to him how wonderful your parents are for agreeing to watch the dog so you both can visit HIS family....that's it's only fair that you guys return to relieve them of that duty.
With most families, I bet his grandmother (and other family) would understand the reason why you two have to leave on the 26th, and are, hopefully, grateful that you chose to spend the holiday with them!
Good luck!
