[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My extended family includes:
sister, kids are grown and independent except one 22 year old with special needs who lives with her. She (sister) is a widow and doesn’t work.
brother 1, youngest is a senior, others are grown and independent. he owns 2 businesses, wife doesn’t work.
brother 2, married, no kids. he and his spouse work from home.
me, single mom, 2 teens, work full time out of the house

Family gatherings are always on Sundays. When all the kids were younger, we did things early in the day (brother 2 and I both live an hour to two hours away from
everyone else). 
Now that everyone else’s kids are grown, sundays are getting later and further away. I am dreading 4 hours in the car today when I have unending laundry to get done and prep for the week ahead. I know when I am the first one to leave everyone is going to ask us to stay longer and my kids will be irritated that we’re “missing out” again. 
I love my family dearly but I’m beginning to resent this set up.
Moving things to Saturdays in a non-starter since brother 1 only has Sundays off. [b]And none of them are willing to make the long drive to my place or brother 2 on an even semi-regular basis. [/b]
So, am I just being whiny or am i justified in my annoyance?[/quote]

You are justified and this is why.  [/quote]
