Mother's Day :(


I used to love holidays but since I have been married, and live an hour away from my parents and other extended fam now, things are always rushed and complicated. This weekend is Mother's Day and everything seems to be happening at once. My hubby has been away all week and I haven't seen him, my in-laws are in and have been staying with me and our little boy the past two days and probably until Saturday night (hubby gets home tomorrow morning finally, thank God!!) and my mom wants me to come up Saturday for this crafts fair she organized in the old community when we used to live. Originally she wanted me and our son to stay over since my husband would want to spend time with his folks for Mother's Day, also since they came in from Oklahoma (they have a trailer they stay at about 20 minutes from us, like a vacation home). I already told my mom I can't stay b/c of not seeing my husband all week, we missed him like crazy and don't want to up and leave him either. I know she was disappointed. I just am frustrated as to how to schedule things with everyone, it's always a lot of pressure and guilt feelings, since my parents don't come down to see me/us as much as we do them, and it's a lot harder for us since twice a year for a few weeks his parents come in to spend time and we have three dogs, one being a puppy that we can't just leave all day. I know we will figure out how to work it in the end, God willing, but I just always feel like I disappoint somebody. Anyone have any words of wisdom, or can relate? Thanks in advance guys.

p.s - sorry my story may seem disorganized, I'm upset right now and everything just kind of came out as it did.

Awww hun!!!!!!!!
I can relate for sure...except I don't have kids...just 2 dogs, 2 cats and 5 chickens...haha
I moved 4 hours away from family and now only see them twice maybe 3 times a year.
I grew up in the military ( always lived way to far to visit) so My parents were used to NOT seeing their family either.
So they are very understanding.....plus I don't do guilt trips..haha
I miss them so much...but then get upset when they don;t make an effort to visit me.
I live in the country with a guest bunkhouse and can sleep up to 10 people, so our house is perfect for visitors, but nobody wants to drive the 4 hrs.
sorry sounds like my response is turning into a rant as well......
i won't even go into how my friends have acted since I moved.just glad to know I am not the only one feeling stress this holiday weekend!
Hope you make it !!
haha

Gosh, I live across the ocean from my parents now, so that makes holidays super hard on me. Costs far too much for us to fly back and forth, as well, so that leaves me kinda stuck. I haven't seen my family in nearly 2 years now...I say be grateful you have (well, HAD) this dilemma! I don't have much choice in not getting to see my mom for Mother's Day.
