[Frugal Father (tm)]

Familys can be frustrating. My wife and I both have similar family branches, we keep to ourselves and my mother is very involved inour lives ( after a long absense- some people do come around I guess). After a while it has been proven we are happier this way. We don;t invite because we were never invited and when we did they never came anyway.
