How To Balance The Holidays?
|
The holidays are coming up and my parents live 200 miles apart. We want to be fair to both sets of parents, but it is a lot of driving. How do we keep it fair and divvy up the holidays so that everyone can see their grandchild?

There are a couple of things you can do if everyone will cooperate. First you can alternate holidays; Second you can have the holiday celebrations at your house until the baby is older; and Third, you can take a long holiday and go to both parents. The latter will not be easy on the baby and could cause it to be restless and upset. Personally, I would prefer to celebrate the holidays in my own home and have the parents come out to you. The baby would be more comfortable and happier and you would be too. If you do not have the room for them than see the local motel for a reasonable rate for them.

Well if your parents can come to your place then its good you dont need to go to both parents places but they are not able to come there and you have long holidays then try to manage to got both places stay for sometime there. When you go pack the necessary thing for your baby in one bag and make a list of that.

Holiday is usually family time and reunion time. Try to have schedule one at a time. At this very early for sure you can have ample time to have best schedule. Maybe you can plan now on what food to prepare and activities for your bonding moments.
