My daughter is 24. She recently got married, she and her husband recently bought a log cabin on a small island in the middle of a lake. The lake is in the middle of nowhere and at least a good 6 hour drive from my house.
Her father and I invited them to our house for Christmas Eve dinner, which is a tradition in our family. However, my daughter told me that she and her husband are planning to spend December 14 to January 6 at their cabin, just the 2 of them and their dog.
Even though the lake will be frozen in the winter, they plan on getting there by snowmobile. This is just her way of making sure they won’t have an excuse to entertain guests. I told her that they can’t just shut themselves out from the world during the holidays.
I haven’t seen them since the spring. It’s breaking my heart that my own daughter would be so callous. My husband agreed and lectured her over the phone. Now my daughter isn’t returning our texts.
What do you think about this situation? Any advice. Here are a few comments on the story where it was originally posted:
