[quote=Anonymous]I'd be unhappy about the flu thing too, and honestly, I'd have packed up an left as soon as I realized he wasn't quarantining himself. Everybody has the right to avoid obvious sources of contamination.

My suggestion for this year is one of two things.

1. go up for a day, possibly one overnight. 2 hrs isn't that far to drive and we did it routinely when I was a kid and most of the time it was a day trip. Do two day trips if you want. One on M, one on S or whatever. Or take two cars and DH an kids can go for as long as they want and you visit a couple of times.

2. Get a hotel and stay for whatever period of time DH wants and your schedule allows. While DH and kids are have a good time at the raucous, you can go back to the hotel for some R&R. Get a room w/ a spa tub, or a hotel w/ a pool or day spa or whatever and then take advantage of them.

I guess another possibility is to volunteer to work over the holidays and tell DH you couldn't get the time off so he can take the kids. If you're inclined you can visit on your day off.

Good luck! My family used to get together for Christmas, but only for a big dinner and once my grandma died, it wasn't even on the actual day, just a random day in Dec. I think we all decided we don't like each other all that much and stopped doing it.[/quote]
