Families ?

Yes, and it's funny how the other thing is always more important.

Every time we saw our DD and family the arrangements were changed several times by her - the day, the place, the time, etc. etc. It wore me out

Very rarely happens, always one or more have things booked somewhere else, have to ask them few months in advance works better then

All my 3 AC have busy careers and family weekend commitments, so I always plan our meet ups months in advance ! Sometimes it’s a pain all being able to do certain dates but we get there !

It happens! Lucky you though to have a big family who want to get together.

Me as well, now most of the GC are teenagers and older someone has always got a football match or tennis or whatever. Of course at present family only appear in ones and twos.

yup, not dissimilar to the post above..
life changes, people change

ho hum...

We never get a full compliment nowadays. It's life - it gets in the way.

It is annoying but having a big family myself find it’s really difficult for everyone to be free on the same day there’s always someone crying off.

It can be hard getting everyone together if you have quite a big family but it is annoying if you arrange it and then someone has forgotten a previous commitment.
