Where to spend Easter
Mine and my partner’s family live in the same town. We spend every holiday with both our families, alternating different days. It can be exhausting. We hosted Thanksgiving at our house last year so we wouldn’t leave anyone out and have to go to two places the same day. Easter is coming up and I kind of want to stay home and NOT host anyone. I am a first time mom and this will be my baby’s first Easter and I want to make memories at home. My parents will be okay because I have other siblings that live in town and can spend it with them, but my partner’s parents moved away from his sibling and besides my partner they don’t have anyone. I’d feel bad if we only invited my partner’s family and not mine, but with my siblings I have about 7 people that would show up and hosting thanksgiving was a lot. Is it selfish of me to feel this way? Can anyone relate?
