WAW and 4 kids

[tryingtilDorR]

I just returned from a couple of days skiing with the family and my ILs. Last year was the first year where we could really enjoy this type of activity as a family, since it was the first time since started having children that they all could ski/snowboard on their own and all had their own equipment so didn't have to waste time renting stuff. I remember going tot he same place with my ILs when I was dating my W 25 years ago when their family was doing this (W was oldest and has 3 younger siblings).

Sad that we finally get to this point when M is ending.

I had fun anyway skiing with my kids. W and I have no connection and it could have been an even better trip if we had a R, but the person I was in a R is gone. However, it is still hard, no matter how much you detatch, to spend focused time like this around someone who doesn't want to be with you.

I came back early to wrap up some things for work, but family is still up there for another day.
