I am 1367 miles from home. Mine came to my house on wed and stayed until Friday. ummm buddy you have your own home? He called yesterday and asked to take the kids to his mom's for Christmas. I was polite but gave him a flat no. He chose this I will not spend my first Christmas here alone.
I was a SAHM for 6yrs also and I do think they resent us for it, I went back to my old job and love it but I have to say after 6yrs I was terrified lol
