Don't understand why people INTENTIONALLY make themselves miserable.[/quote]

I agree with this. I would never voluntarily put myself through that. It's one of the perks of being an adult. [/quote]

LOL, if only life were that black and white!  Family relationships are complicated.  My family drives me up a wall, and I'm always glad to see them go when they leave, but it doesn't mean I don't ever want to see them.  Insisting they stay in a hotel just isn't practical at this stage of the game.  We don't live all that close to a decent hotel, and anything remotely convenient is expensive.  My siblings all have small children and I know it would be hard for them to all squeeze into one hotel room, even if they could afford it.  Not to mention my kids LOVE the sleepovers with their cousins, and I think those relationships are important to foster.  I also feel a strong sense of obligation/guilt, since my family members are not bad people, they're just annoying as shit.  And I do love them.  I could "be an adult" and refuse to have them, but that would be sad in its own way.  Life is not so simple...[/quote]

Seriously.  Who are these people who refuse to see their annoying family?  What next, giving up your children for adoption because they became super annoying teenagers?[/quote]

There's annoying everyday BS we put up with annoying families, and then there's tears of relief when you drop them off. Never in a million years would I put myself in a position to CRY with relief when family leaves. There's a huge difference.[/quote]
