[quote=Anonymous]I know it's really hard, but you are absolutely doing the right thing. It's a good thing that they get along with their stepmother. It's a good thing that they get to spend holidays with their cousins. I wouldn't be flexible all the time with holidays--you have an agreement, stick to the agreement--but you're right, that what's really important is that your kids are happy. I do agree with a PP who said that it might be time to talk to your kids about what would make a fun and meaningful holiday even when it's "just the three of you." Or make it not just the three of you--lots of people I know do Thanksgivings where they invite anyone they know who isn't going away to visit family. Or plan special activities or even a little trip. It's not a competition, but it is about making new traditions when the ones that you had as a family are lost. [/quote]
