[quote=Anonymous]Every year, four families (including my own, longtime friends with kids the same age) go to one of the family's beach houses in DE. It's a fun long-weekend tradition and we've been doing it since the kids were babies.

It's coming up this weekend, and I just cannot do it. Work has been terrible. My boss just quit, leaving me with a huge workload. We just got back from a longer vacation with extended family, which wasn't a vacation at all. My older one is off to gymnastics camp three days after we get back and requires a negative PCR and tons of packing. My house is a mess. I am tired. I am frayed. I love my friends but just cannot bear a weekend away at the moment. I need to relax. I need a weekend of laundry and bad TV.

The text threads have been flying about plans, who's bringing what, groceries, etc. I keep being about to text saying we just can't do it this year but am worried that people will be hurt or mad. It will be the first year in over a decade, save COVID, in which we won't be there, and I'm for all intense and purposes choosing to stay home and do nothing.

Help. WWYD? I am feeling guilty and like I am risking a friendship somehow...[/quote]
