I'm a couple of burbs north in streamwood. We used to pass thru on the way to the whole foods down on butterfield before they opened the one in schaumburg. Weaton is a nice looking town.

The best things about Wheaton.. good schools and a Whole Foods. Thanks for the gas price, my dad will be so proud when I talk with him on Sunday.

I haven't disowned my family but sometimes I feel like I am the black sheep and that they have disowned me. I think sometimes it might just be in my head but I don't know. Since I don't subscribe to their way of thinking I am the one who is wrong. I have not chosen a traditional path in life. I lived with my boyfriend before we got married, we ran off and got married (no church wedding), we have decided not to have children and a lot of the time we travel on holidays. Just because we do not want to sit around and look at each other on the holidays doesn't mean I love my family any less. It just means that I have a few days off from work and I want to go see something else. Why does that one day have to be THE day to sit and look at each other? Why not next Tuesday or a week from Monday? Invite me over for dinner then and I will be more that happy to sit and look at you, all night if you want me too. But what makes the fourth Thursday in November THE day to force family to get together? I have a small family and my sister is the worst and she plants seeds of admonishment in my mom's head. Otherwise, my mom would probably be more than willing to go on our holiday travels with us.

Family is hard...

I love my sister, but we haven't had any meaningful contact for over 3 years now.

She was a terrible burden on my family, and even knew that she was and would say things like "It's not my fault you can't say no". It came to a head over plans for Xmas day a few years back, turned into a huge row resulting in my wife telling her to get out of our house. I figured it would blow over, but 3 days later all the things they had borrowed from us, and also the Xmas presents for her children we had already given to them were in boxes outside our house. I have only spoken to her to say Good Morning to her on the school run a couple of times since. I get sad when I see her children, and I know my mom is sad about not having us all together, but I can't explain to my mom properly as my sister said some terribly hurtfull things about my parents during the row and the straw that exploded the row was to do with them also.

I have no time for my sister in my life anymore, but I am sad about the break up of our families.

I'd trade my sister for another one if I could.

I've been dealing with rectal cancer for 4 months. any support from my sister has been non-existent. after a four hour surgery that got the cancer, but took my rectum, my sister calls and says "I think my prayers made the difference."

sure....that was it...not the chemo; not the radiation; not the surgeon....not all the love I've gotten from people on this board. it was all you, sis. :x

Geez.
I find it odd that people who pray and apparently believe in God could be so "cold"

I am so much happier after disowning my family. I'm free.

I agree Neily, I couldn't imagine not seeing my family. We're not lovey dovey close, but we are a loving family.

I've never understood how people can let little things get in the way of their relationship with their family.

But I do know that everyone's situation is different, I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.
