I am SOOO angry right now and I need to vent and I can't do it to DH. He just informed me that he is on call for Thanksgiving again. This is the 5th year in a row. Which means this is the 5th year in a row that I will not get to have a Thanksgiving meal with my family. Plus DH already has it in his mind that we aren't making the trip down to my family for Christmas b/c it's kinda a long drive and we have to pass through a huge whiteout/snow belt area and he doesn't want me traveling through that and getting so stressed out that far along. He told me last year he would talk to his supervisor to make sure he wasn't on call. There are 3 other people who could be on call, one with less seniority than DH. I seriously just want to cry. I don't even think I can be in the same room with him right now.
I should also add that his family lives about a half hour away so he can see them whenever he wants, but apparently I am never allowed to see mine again.
Re: I GIVE UP!
I'm sorry you are going through that. I understand what you mean about not seeing family. My family is a plane trip to the other coast, DH's family is a 7 hour drive. DH finds it a lot easier to plan trips to see his family instead of mine. It's frustrating and not fair. I kind of tricked DH this year and told him we can spend Christmas with his family this year - if I can have Christmas with my family next year. I figured my family would rather wait and see the baby next year.
I hope you guys can work something out.
I would, but it's still not the same. It wouldn't be my sister, niece, grandmother, cousins, and all my aunts and uncles. It would just be my mom and dad.
I think like this too...
Probably what I would do too! Good luck though, regardless of what you decide!

Ditto this. If they're willing to tavel that would be a great way to spend the holidays with them.

I'm like this as well, I'm sorry but if this happened I would tell him he could stay here by himself because I wouldn't be here. I would pack and leave and I seriously wouldn't care if came or not. I don't know why I think this way...maybe my mom's way of thinking???
This is my thinking as well.
