i really miss my family . it 's hard to be 800 miles away i bet ! hopefully you can take some time off and go see them soon ! it 's really hard to do that in a one income household . i understand , i 'm sure your family misses you as well . maybe you can meet half way for the holidays . they wo n't even bother there are too many of them and always say it 's cheaper for you guys to just come down .
Family tensions or conflicts over holiday gatherings.
