In a few short weeks, we will be headed to the OBX on vacation. These are two weeks that I wait for all year long. This year, my s-i-l from NJ was supposed to join us. She is JBM's favorite aunt (by blood - because Ellen is #1 on the list). As Flyboy says all the time, she is predictable and as predicted she has backed out of coming with us.
Now...being the dutiful daughter and having my big brother out of work for most of the summer, my immediate reaction is to invite Mom and Bro to come along. Flyboy has said "no way" because he feels I need a break from being a caregiver....but I feel guilty about not asking. Mom would not be able to go to the beach but a change of scenery is always nice. So, I ask, what would you do?
BTW, Flyboy thinks it is important for my other brother to step up and take over for me for 10 days....I would love to be a fly on the wall for that. He will have nothing to do unless an emergency crops up since I will have taken care of all needs before I go.

It's always up to the daughter.....I don't know. What do YOU want? That's the answer;)
ReplyDeleteI can understand both sides of that debate. As a daughter, you want to take care of your mom and brother. As a caregiver, you want a break. It's tough being the child in charge.
ReplyDeleteYou know in your heart what you want to do. Follow your heart.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Flyboy on this one.
