@savannahkthrower: I love my family but it gets exhausting trying to navigate times and not hurt feelings #divorcedparents #divorcedparentscheck #divorcediaries #parents #divorcedandremarried #thankfulformyfamily #holidays #husbandandwife #relatable #canwetalkabout
It's ok to stop. It's ok to stay home with your babies and begin your own traditions & make beautiful memories.

nope, we don't do that anymore. we go to MAYBE one house, but anymore we just want to stay home. being divorced is their problem, not mine.

No is a complete sentence. Make memories with your babies at home. Family can travel to you if they want to see you all. Hugs!

I told my family once I had my own family I’m only going to one place per holiday. Just switch it up each holiday. Set boundaries

I think it’s time to start making your own family traditions. It’s ok to make your own rules and set boundaries. It will feel soooo good!!!

The minute my son started a family he spends it with his family. We go visit late afternoon to see the kids.

This is why we don’t go home anymore. I refuse to make my kids leave their gifts to be around toxic two faced family

I stay home w my (new) family. Holidays are for your babies not for their grandparents in my opinion 🤷🏻♀️

holidays were pure misery when our children were young. I tell my kids do what's best for you!

Thanksgiving: rotate years. Christmas: do a gift exchange a different day, stay home on Christmas

Rachel :
And being guilt tripped about not spending enough time at one of the stops 🙄 Uh, pretty sure you all decided to get together, build a family, then split. Sorry but it comes with the territory and you’re lucky we make an attempt to see everyone on the same day 🤷🏻♀️

Whitney Dethloff :
same. Christmas day we have a rule, we don't go anywhere and no one is allowed at our house. we get to spend the whole day with our own kids

aly :
What makes it worse is my mom throws fits because we have to share holidays with other parents. Like me and my husband didn’t ask for our parents to be divorced. 🙄🙄🙄

Emer K :
It’s ok to say no. Have the day with your own kids. If your parents don’t understand that they shouldn’t be insisting you go to theirs.

With divorced parents for my husband and I both we have decided we’re staying home 90% of the time doing our own thing 😅

All of our kids are in your shoes so my husband and I don’t make our kids come on a certain day and if we don’t see everyone on the same day it is ok

No mam - once you have kids it’s now your family and you make the decision! If they want to be involved they will 🥰

We stopped going. Told them I’m cooking one meal, if they want to see us they can come.

I think the tradition needs to start with the parents visiting you at home where the children can be home with all their gifts and you are relaxing!

Yep! Switch up who's house you go to for each holiday. We do one thanksgiving, one Xmas Eve and one Xmas day. Even that is getting to be too much.

user672556609381 :
We told both our set of parents that they can get along for one dinner or not see us at all over the holidays it’s about the kids not the adults
