Thanksgiving

I am tempted to celebrate at home this year. I am sooo sensitive. I get my feelings hurt easily. I sense when my children get on someone's nerves and it hurts my feelings. On my side of the family, there are ten million kids and what's three more. It is just one big playfest. On Erik's side of the family though, this year, we will be the only little kids. There are so many things that must be supervised, volume, activity level, talkitiveness. I hope to be able to enjoy myself and not spend Thanksgiving yelling at my kids for normal kid behaviour.

Anyone have any tips for sanity keeping?

(((big hugs, Jan!))) How awful!

(Just me) If I thought my kids were gonna be looked down on, I would probably stick with my kids mostly and play quietly with them. They're probably gonna be milder mannered if they have more of my attention, and I gain the opportunity to enjoy my children. But that's just me. When I feel that people are looking down on my kids, I tend to stick very close to my kids and try to ignore those other people.
