[quote=Anonymous]I’ll try to make this as simple as possible. It has been a crazy busy few weeks for both DH and I at work. We’ve barely eaten a meal together as a family since Janruary. When my husband hasn’t been working late, he’s been working weekends. We are like ships passing in the night. We are all super stressed, and I know my DH has  been busy, but the bulk of the home/kid responsibilities have fallen on me.

I suggested that next weekend we will “pretend” to be going out of town for family bonding, but in reality, we will just hang out around home, “going away” being and excuse so we won’t be bothered by family, friends, play dates, or any plans. We’ve been so busy, I just miss everyone!

So when my parents asked if we would like to come for dinner next weekend (my DH is finally done with his big project next week), I politely turned them down and explained we were going away. DHs parents just presented a similar proposal, and he wants to skip our plans and go, even though he doesn’t want to, because his mom will be upset.

Last week, we asked if they’d like to visit with the kids, and they were too busy. But now we aren’t allowed to be too busy?

Should I put my foot down or should I allow it, and spend time together as a family, only at ILs house instead.[/quote]
