[quote=Anonymous]I’m starting to resent holidays and the expectation of our boomer parents that we and our kids be present to celebrate in the way they are accustomed to. Always this involves having a meal, sitting around chit chatting, exchanging unwanted gifts. The rest of the year they do their own thing and take frequent vacations without including us. I think they want to spend holidays together because it ticks the box and feels ‘normal.’ I’ve proposed we plan some vacations together where we can really enjoy quality time together in a beautiful place. I’d even be open to a cruise (never cruised before). We’d totally expect to pay our own way. It never happens. So inevitably we go alone, but if it’s over a holiday there’s disappointment about us missing. I see multigenerational families vacationing together and it makes me sad that no one cares enough to do this.[/quote]
