[quote=Anonymous]Reason I don't want to visit my family:

1. I'll be 7 months pregnant so flying and driving will be extra uncomfortable. Trip would be 2 hour flight followed by 4 hour car ride.

2. My brother and his wife are bringing their lab. My 2 year old is terrified of dogs.

3. They don't have enough beds for us. My brother and his wife will be sleeping in the queen bed that was his. That leaves one twin guest bed and one twin mattress in what was my room. "My" mattress is 30 years old and very uncomfortable. My daughter is too big for a pack-and-play this year. So we are one bed short. I guess I could sleep on a couch but I'm betting that would be uncomfortable, especially while pregnant. Husband could sleep on the couch but I feel like he needs a space he can hide from my family when he needs a break.

4. My mother is getting on my nerves. She is critical and controlling and I don't want to be around her. Also, she isn't any help with my 2 year old. My dad is just kind of there.

5. My husband and I are not getting along (for years but especially bad the last few months).

So am I excused or still obligated to go?[/quote]
