[quote=Anonymous]My extended family has a big thanksgiving celebration in New England.  Last year we drove up with our twin 3 year olds and 1 year old singleton.  On the drive back we hit traffic like we always do, and DH was complaining about the long drive and said "promise me we don't have to do this next year", and in the moment, I did.  Fast forward to this year, because of that promise we weren't planning on going, but it makes me sad because I have several elderly relatives that I don't think will make it to next thanksgiving, but I promised DH. Last night we were talking, and he made a passing almost joking comment that I could take the kids by myself if I wanted to, which prompted a discussion that he really doesn't want to do the drive, but he doesn't mind if we are gone that weekend because he doesn't really care about thanksgiving anyway.  So I'm considering driving 9-10 hours each way with a 2 year old and two 4 year olds.  I would have help from grandparents once I arrived.

1) Is it a bad thing to be intentionally apart from your husband on a holiday?  I can probably guilt/force him to go, but he won't be happy about it. 
2) Am I a lunatic for even considering this drive without another adult? or should I just skip it and stay home this year?[/quote]
