[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 741747, member: 23349"] Tried, if I were in the situation of having sets of kids who could not be around each other, I guess I would just set up separate times with each and make the best of it. I know it’s sad and hard not to be able to get them all together. We all have that Norman Rockwell fantasy in our minds of everyone around the table together. The only time I’ve had all of mine together for the last decade was for E’s wedding, and that took superhuman levels of coordination to make it happen. I had C and S both stay with me a full 48 hours before the wedding so I knew they would both be sober enough to attend and I wouldn’t be running around last minute looking for them. (S was the maid of honor and I was so afraid she would be a no show.) I can’t go through all that every holiday, so I’ll just hope for the best and see what happens. I’ve learned to have zero expectations and be ok with empty seats at the table. [/QUOTE]
