[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have no local family, and family is too far away to spend holidays with, do you feel sad on holidays that you don't have extended family to celebrate with? I feel sad, and I feel sad for my kids too. My husband works most major holidays, so pre-kids I was alone on holidays, which was depressing, and now with kids I try to find festive things to do/make a nice meal but it still feels lonely. Today DH was working and I took the kids to the park and I saw so many huge extended families having BBQs/picnics and it just made me feel very lonely. Our friends never invite us to their family celebrations/are always busy with their own family celebrations or they travel to see family on holidays. [/quote] What about your immediate family, as in DH? It seems like starting there might be something to work on.[/quote]
