[quote=Anonymous]As the mother of 2 boys I've acknowledged that it will be on us (my husband and I) to (a) make friends with our son's spouses, and (b) be prepared to make our own holidays. Take responsibility for your own fun and your own holidays. Whether that means reaching out to your great aunt or a neighbor, establishing a new tradition of travel for the holiday and yes, possibly celebrating it on a different day with your sons. If you decide to let that ruin your fun it's really on you. You can't expect your adult children to be responsible for your happiness in life - its not their job. My brother's family (who has 3 kids) has basically adopted their next door neighbors (who have no kids) and they include them in every holiday. It's a wonderful reminder to me that you can build your own family in all sorts of places if you just put in the effort. [/quote]
