Your turn no my turn no your turn...?
When i moved to the east with my family for my dads job we knew we'd be here only temporarily 3-4 yrs max. However I met my bf when i moved here and weve been together ever since. 3 yrs later and my familys moved back to my home town clear across the country. Throughout these past three yrs we would switch on and off which family we would spend holidays with or we would split the day between both familys. We Mostly spent holidays with my fam since he claims hes not close with his family or that they dont celebrate certain holidays Its been almost a yr since my family moved back home to the west coast, and I was lucky enough to convince my bf to fly us out west for christmas with my family. Before my family moved it worked out perfectly splitting christmas time between his fam and mine. As his fam celebrated christmas eve into early christmas morning 2-3 am and my family didnt celebrate untill christmas day with brunch and gifts. We were able to spend inividual days with each family. However now that my family has moved and we spent this last christmas week with my family my boyfreind insists that we spend this yr with his family. I havent said anything yet, but i completely disagree with this idea. I have 10 ppl in my family and im very close with my family, living across the country from them means i miss out on birthdays and births partys and holidays let alone family time. With living here on the east with my bf and his family who live less thn an hour from us and who he works for he sees them nearly everyday they have a small family compared to mine and their not at all as close with each other as i am to my family. Not to mention they dont always get together for celebrations. For example this past easter we did nothing absolutely nothing. which was odd for me bcuz we were always able to celebrate it with my family when they were here and it was always a big celebration or day in my family church easter egg hunt dinner family time. But with my family gone we did nothing because he claims his family dosent celebrate it. Which is funny Because his dad claims to be a hard core catholic and my bf refused to eat meat on good friday. So i completely disagree with him wanting to spend christmas here with his family when we have the chance to celebrate the yrs worth of birthdays and holidays with his family. Is it to much to ask that we spend two yrs in a row away from his non celebretory family for christmas or am I out of line for expecting that?
