Ergggggggg, you hit a sore spot. The wife can’t let go of seeing the kids/grandkids for every dam birthday or holiday. The kids are the biggest “we can’t because” keeping us (me) from enjoying the golden years on our schedule. There seems to be a friggin birthday for one of the kids every month of the year. It’s becoming a pain in the butt and getting very expensive to travel back and forth between our homes. Every birthday means another month we can’t be enjoying our Villages home so we can spend three hours being ignored by the kid until the minute it takes him/ her to open the presents we brought. Why can’t seeing all the kids a couple times a year at a family outing be enough??????
