[quote=Anonymous]I live on the same coast as them so I have to see them a few times a year - and we do see both sides just a few times a year, not like monthly. Yet it occurs to me that I'm so stressed about having to be with them and in their home (and yes it's the same if we stay in a hotel because it's this constant - ok we need to go to the house, we've taken a 4 hr break at the hotel etc.). I honestly think it's just about not doing things 100% the way you'd do them in your own home, you HAVE to make conversation in a way you don't with your own spouse since you see them daily, plus having people around who are asking questions, judging and elderly people giving you an overwhelming amount of health info (even if things are fine they go on and on about it in such a way that it makes you worry until you actually sit back and say it's fine, they're just discussing health the way older people do). I mean don't get me wrong, I love my family but the older I get, the more stressful it gets.

Anyone else?

I'm thinking next year Thanksgiving = Paris or someplace similar. [/quote]
