[quote=Anonymous]Geez OP stop being one of those annoying pouters when people do not attend things out of obligation.

She probably does not dislike you but has a much healthier sense of choosing between something that her spouse and her would enjoy doing and doing an obligation vacation. Spending holidays with family members is usually 80% obligation and maybe 20% fun if you have interesting family members. Its something you do solely because other people expect it and its quite liberating to some people to stop giving in to other's obligation they try to force on you.

Before you try to convince yourself that spending the holidays visiting you and your father is more fun than Bora Bora or wherever ask yourself these questions..

-is the location any place that you would ever travel to if you didn't have to go there to visit family?
-are the living accommodation cramped or only hotel choices meh instead of a beautiful resort?
-is there nothing to do other than sit around and "visit" talking about uninteresting things? No snorkeling? No broadway shows? No European museums? No beaches? 
-is there lots of home cooked (ie really poorly cooked) bland food? Any five star chefs? Nice bars or lounges?
-do you count the day until its over? Or do you wish you could extend your stay a few more days?[/quote]
