[quote=Anonymous]PP, I'm really sorry for your loss. And I completely understand how frustrating it must be to read some of these complaints.

I'm one who had a big attitude adjustment lately following the loss of my FIL and the deteriorating health of my MIL. For all of the 20 years of my marriage, Thanksgiving has been an exhausting ordeal. My ILs were great people, but it was a big job to travel to them, with the food I cooked, packing up a bunch of kids and spending hours sitting in traffic on my rare days off. We had good times, but I was always complaining.

This year, without my FIL and with my MIL in a sad state, I don't have a single complaint. I just appreciate every second of having the family together knowing that we probably won't have many more. I'm also glad that I endured all of the work making those Thanksgiving trips and creating memories for our kids. My eyes have been opened.

Again, I'm am sorry that you have to spend the holidays without your parents. Your gripe is completely understandable.[/quote]
