div i have a dilemma! tell me, what would you do in this situation?
every year for christmas my parents and i go to my great aunt's. it's the only time i ever see that side of my family (aside from my grandparents) unless something extra special comes up. the problem is, both of my parents have caught some kind of bug and are very sick and not feeling up to going this year at all. i could either go by myself or stay home with them.
if i go by myself, i'll be driving over an hour to their house, which i've never driven to alone before (there's always been someone with me to direct me, plus this was forever ago) and driving to places for the first time by myself always worries me when it's that far. i feel like i can do it but i'll be paranoid the whole time... lol.
or i could stay home, miss christmas with my extended family but spend it with my parents. they have no problem with me going and don't want me to miss out, but i do feel bad leaving them, and they feel bad enough as it is.
i'm having such a tug of war with this, haaallppp. :(
