[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Using your vacation days to party prep is ridiculous. You guys are going way overboard with the parties. Three massive parties (Thanksgiving, Christmas and a Birthday) in the span of two months when you want huge parties and are doing all the work yourselves and you have 3 kids - just why?

Why do that to yourself? You obviously aren't enjoying them. It is using up precious vacation days. It is expensive. It is causing tension in your home. Your wife is run ragged. You are both exhausted. Why live that way?[/quote]

+1 Why don't you take off Christmas? She's needlessly running herself ragged trying to host 3 big events in 2 or 3 months so a lot of this is self-induced. She needs to pick one or two events, but no more. I say this as someone who is like your wife and whose DH will do whatever I ask him in order to help prep, but he absolutely hates how crazy I get while prepping for these events. Every year he proclaims it is the last year we're hosting. Of course, he and his friends always show up and enjoy the events, but there are always arguments and general craziness leading up to it so I see why he hates hosting. [/quote]
