O.k here is my dilemma.... I am a diagnosed bipolar so I have a hard time committing to one awnser so I decided to ask you all..... I live in Charleston SC. and I am from Nashville Tennessee.... I have disability- FMLA which will allow me to miss work for two days to go home and be near my mom for thanksgiving but its a 10 hour drive and no one can go with me. My mom is not expecting me so this would be a complete surprise to her and the family...My mom is planning on coming here to see me at Christmas since I am not going to have any more vacation till January...This made my 37 year old older sister jealous so she is getting back at mom by not going to mom's on Thanksgiving. If I go I would drive all day Wed. and return on Sunday...Should I go or just stay here and work.... I dread the drive but I also dread not being near my family and I feel bad that my mom will not have any of her family there.....Any ideas????

Your sister is an ***.
Can you find anyone that could possibility go with you?
If I were you I would pack my bag and wait to decide about going until Wednesday...if you feel up to it then go, if not then don't go. As long as your mother doesn't know you're coming then there will be no problem if you decide to not go.

,tell your sister to grow up!! i have some cousins that acting the same way. its sad your mom bought you all into this world & now they cant be together for a few days? my cousin mom was in the hospital & he did not go see her or even talk to her!! he has no contact with the family so i say get over it!!
i would go cause your mom really needs you. i was thinking of no going to my family but i relized that htere is more to life than just work & money & time. cause you can never tell when the last day will come. so make the best out of it & have a great time with your family. happy thanksgiving & x-mas

That's too far of a drive. Unless you can hop a train, you should stay home, relax, and rest. Your mom will be fine (I'm a mom and, honestly, I'm ok when my kids have other plans!). Christmas will be right around the corner and you'll be rested and ready to spend quality time with your mom when she visits. Plan out an easy going itinerary (going shopping, lunch, a movie, giving a short tour of the sites...) for when your Mom visits and enjoy the moment. P.S. It would be cool if you could get a webcam and "see" your mom via the computer - maybe consider spending a few dollars on something like that!

Go see your mom and family. You are so lucky to be able to do this and have a wonderful holiday.

Go see your family, it will be worth the drive.
