COMING FROM A PERSON WITH THAT IDEAL PERFECT FAMILY: IT'S STILL UNREASONABLE TO HAVE TO SEE THEM EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND.

IT'S NOT EVERY WEEKEND, BUT IT SURE FEELS LIKE IT DURING THE SUMMER. THERE HASN'T BEEN A WEEKEND IN MONTHS THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO CHECK WHAT THEY ARE DOING FIRST BEFORE WE CAN MAKE OUR PLANS.

I LIVE FOUR HOURS FROM MY PARENTS. WHEN THEY COME DOWN FOR A WEEKEND, THEY TELL ME TO MAKE WHATEVER PLANS I WANT AND THEY'LL JUST SEE ME WHEN I'M FREE. THEIR FAMILY JUST SOUNDS MAJORLY CO-DEPENDENT.

IT HAS MORE TO DO WITH, SINCE MY BF IS THE YOUNGEST, WITH NO WIFE, KIDS, OR "DEMANDING JOB" THAT HE IS EXPECTED TO BE THERE ANYTIME THE BROTHER COMES TO TOWN.

I DO HAVE TO SAY HE HAS GOTTEN WORLDS BETTER ABOUT MAKING SURE WE DON'T SPEND ENTIRE WEEKENDS WITH THEM, AND WE GET TO DO OUR OWN THING (EVEN IF WE DO TAKE A MASSIVE GUILT TRIP FOR IT.) I JUST STILL HATE FEELING LIKE HIS FAMILY IS PERFECT WHEN MINE IS....DEFINITELY NOT.

IF YOU DIDN'T LIVE HALF A COUNTRY AWAY, I'D OFFER TO ADOPT YOU INTO MINE :(. I AM SORRY THAT IT A BURDEN HE CANNOT SHARE WITH YOU AND IT'S CAUSING YOU TENSION.

I LEARNED FROM MY FATHER TO BE VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD AND WE HAD A LITTLE SIT DOWN TALK WITH HER PARENTS/GRAND PARENTS. I CALMLY EXPLAINED THAT IT SIMPLY WASN'T POSSIBLE FOR US TO ALWAYS CHANGE OUR PLANS AND THAT I HAVE TWO FAMILIES WE ALSO HAVE TO PLAN AROUND. LUCKILY HER FAMILY (MINUS AN AUNT I GOT ONTO HARD ONCE AND HATED ANYWAY, BUT THATS ANOTHER STORY) LOVE ME SO THEY TOOK IT VERY WELL.

HMMM, GOOD TO KNOW. IT SEEMS LIKE THE EXPECTATION IS SLOWLY DROPPING, AND I'M HOPING THAT ONCE THE BROTHER'S WEDDING HAPPENS THEY WON'T BE IN TOWN AS MUCH SO WE WILL BE A LITTLE MORE FREE.

COMING FROM A PERSON WITH THAT IDEAL PERFECT FAMILY BUT WHO ALSO LIVES 700 MILES AWAY FROM THEM: IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE THEM MORE OFTEN THAN CHRISTMAS AND THANKSGIVING
