[quote=Anonymous]My boyfriend has 2 kids and we’ve decided this relationship is permanent. I don’t have kids of my own but I’ve had a huge role in my niece’s life. My sister was very ill and needed my help and I became like a second mother. This is relevant, I promise. My boyfriend is military and is currently stationed away. Chances are wherever we go as a family will be far away from both of our families.

This weekend he will be bringing his kids home to our home state. This is their first time coming here and let’s face it, it’s going to be a huge adjustment. This is our first holiday blending together and now we have pressure from extended family.

I had planned on taking the kids to play with my niece and made arrangements with my sister and everything. Well today my BF’s mom texts me inviting us to their family get together and they don’t even know times or anything. I told my BF that I’ve never missed a 4th of July with my niece and it’s also the day before her birthday so it’s extra special. I know that this is most likely my last year for a long time for this opportunity.

BF thinks I’m being a jerk and only thinking of my family. I understand but I’m starting to feel like I’m the only one making sacrifices and compromises. I’m moving away, putting my career on hold and while I absolutely adore his kids taking on 2 kids is a huge life change. How would you handle this?[/quote]
