The outcome of Easter - Beav and I ate breakfast at his house with his mother, father, and sister. After, we ran around got last minute things and came back to his house to give his mother her present. He went to his aunt's house from 2pm-4pm to say hello to his family which included his grandmother. I stayed back at my house to help my mom get ready for mother's day dinner because my grandparents were coming over and my brother and sister were working. Beav got to my house around 4:30pm and we all ate dinner.
Beav's mom was mad at him/me. She told him that I should have went to his aunts house but in all honesty John went to represent the both of us. I wasn't going to let my mom stay home alone for the majority of the day cooking dinner for us and her mother by herself. In the end, I feel that we probably should have stopped by his grandmother's house so we both could have seen her and not just him but we did what we did and honestly seeing his aunt and cousin does not take precedent over my mother and grandmother. This mixing holiday stuff is difficult!
we signed the contracts for our first house!!! I'm so excited and going to be broke :) Hopefully, mid to late June we will close and we can start making it our own before the wedding :)
Don't let it bother you! All you can do is what you can do. It's especially difficult the first couple years because you are still trying to find your place in the family dynamic (while still holding your own!). Hang in there! Don't be afraid to say no. Make your own traditions. Especially with his and your lines of work, family needs to learn to be flexible with you! Protect your relationship first! It sounds like you are doing a good job - congrats on your new home... How exciting!!! Have a great weekend
