I'm a bad granddaughter
Ugh. My great uncle (my maternal grandma's brother) passed away last month and his memorial is being held November 3 in Missouri. I know my grandma would love to have as many of her grandkids and great-grandkids there as possible....I just don't think we're going to go and I feel bad 
. My mom, step-dad, and sister are going, which makes me feel even more guilty and I feel like I need to explain myself to my mom, and I also feel like no matter what I tell her she won't "get it" and will just have the attitude of "just go, what's the big deal?".

I just think a 6.5 hour road trip would be rough on G (which would make it rough on me), plus we'd have to leave Friday night which means DH probably couldn't go with us, plus we'd have to pay for hotel/food/gas, plus we wouldn't be back until late Saturday or early Sunday depending on what the plans are for after the memorial. I would leave G with someone for the night/weekend, but I have no options. Effffff. Just needed to get that out I guess.
Re: I'm a bad granddaughter
Agreed. Balancing everything with a family can be hard enough without feeling obligated to bend over backwards trying to make everyone happy. Make sure your grandmother knows you care and you wish you could be there, but do what's best for your family.
