Normally, every Christmas we go to my cousins (which is 1 1/2 hrs away), and the WHOLE family is there.
I have 2 sons and this year I'm not going for these reasons:
There are guns in that house (locked up ... but still).
They (my uncles, aunts) smoke pot in the basement.
And .... my 6 year old son LOVES playing with his 8 y/o cousin, BUT, this kid has the worst grammar in the world: "I ain't got no toys like that" ... "She don't got no boyfriend." .... that kind of talk. In fact, they ALL talk like that!
My mom doesn't know this is why we're not going anymore. She keeps offering to take my kids, because she thinks I'm not going because it's far and a hassle to take them.
It would hurt her feelings if I told her the truth, this is her family.
What would you do? Just keep making up dumb reasons why you're not going?
