[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have 2 boys. They are 23 and 25.

This was the first holiday season where both were in long-term relationships. As such, they both celebrated the holidays with their respective partner's families.

I always heard the "a son is a son until he takes a wife. a daughter is a daughter for life" saying but thought no, no, not my boys because we were such a close, tight-knit family. :(

We celebrated Christmas with the youngest the week before because he wanted to celebrate with his girlfriend at her parent's house and then they went skiing for the new year. We celebrated Christmas over New Year's weekend with the oldest and his girlfriend...

So where do all these people live?  Where do each of your sons live?  If the ski one had Xmas at a location hours closer to the ski resort or a great flight from an airport near the GF parents, stop complaining.  Skiing out west and GF parents in midwest could have put the couple 50% of the way to their destination. If all these people live in the DMV and none saw you then question exactly how flexible and open you are for plans.  Mandate dinner at 1 when they have multiple stops?  Stay flexible and consider yourself fortunate there is a DH.  [/quote]
