Hello!!

I got your link through ate kengkay’s (http://kengkay.wordpress.com/) link list.
I find holidays here more stressful than fun because we spent the day driving from one place to another to visit my bebe’s grandparents and relatives (mother side) and grandparents and relatives (father side) …di pa kasali angkan ko nyan. And sometimes all I want is to spend the holiday alone and somewhere else. I mean it’s good to visit family members and relatives because we love them and we are a part of this whole but once it becomes an obligation … it doesn’t make sense.

woa! usapang tatay. I have to get a wife muna at sariling bebe before I comment. pero honestly I want to be a father na. kaya lang I really need to fix my finances and career muna bago magisip ng pamilya. bluep’s last blog post..My Christmas Message and the Nativity Story (Full Movie)

We find this really hard as well! Both of our families live in the same town as us and it’s hard to know where to go when. Mostly, our disputes don’t happen on the big celebrations because my Mom would rather be different and celebrate them on some obscure date rather than the “Normal” date. Instead, they happen because of normal weekday / end visits. Sometimes I think it would be easier to live in different towns, as much as I would hate not seeing them as easily or often. katelynjane’s last blog post..Blog Safari :: Readers’ Best Posts of 2008

LOL. I heard that my buddy! Sometimes we take care of our own parents. Trying to manage my wife’s parents would be like putting a noose around my neck. Great comment. Keep in touch. Damien Damien Riley’s last blog post..Charger Escape - Download

I have yet to get married with my Darling (wife to be, if nothing goes wrong) but I believe I am already experiencing something similar to yours.

During Chinese New Year, we Chinese would return to our home town to celebrate it.

For my own family, we return to the city after a couple of days in our home town (my Dad’s home town is quite near to my Darling’s home town) and this allowed me to join my high school class mates annual Chinese New Year gathering.

However, since I started to drive my Darling back to her home town during Chinese New Year, she would stay back at her home for like a week, thus I am unable to attend my high school class mates annual Chinese New Year gathering.

How are you at setting boundaries with loved ones?

Can’t seem to set any boundaries? She (my Darling wife to be, hopefully) is the queen, I must obey or suffer her wrath.
