[quote=Anonymous]I am very similar to your DH! I love big family get-together and the random hanging out with different combinations of people. I just wanted to say to OP that you are very kind to indulge this gathering! My wife does not enjoy my large, loud and ADHD extended family and so I am extra appreciative of her efforts to support it. Sometimes this means that I take the kids and go by myself while my wife has a quiet weekend at home, or she joins us halfway through the trip. This works well because by the second half of the trip, everyone else has already figured out the basic logistics and it makes my wife less crazy when she arrives. I’m also not the caretaker in our house so it’s good for me to be solely responsible for the kids sometimes in these situations too.

I know that it’s crazy and disorganized by but mom is terminally I’ll and my dad can’t travel, so I am very sentimental about the time with my aunts and uncles and cousins and their kids. All of that to say, maybe a compromise like this might make things more palatable for OP—you’re very generous![/quote]
