Holiday time is not even, what should I do?

not to be a complainer, but to be quite honest with you, I'm not a happy camper right now. Here's my problem, my boyfriend who has relatives that live about 2-3 hours away that he does see every few months or so acts like it's an urgent thing to spend every single school vacation day with them doing only things they enjoy for long periods of time (like typically 5-8 hrs a day). He's very important to me so spending a lot of time with him during the holidays is very important to me, but I'm getting tired of it all being about them. It's my holiday time too. I guess what really rubs me the wrong way in addition to this is, I have chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia so not all activities are comfortable to me. For those of you that don't know, both of these conditions can cause you to feel worn out physically and mentally kind of easily. After working hard to get a large 2 bedroom apartment clean and ready (in addition to working like he does), by myself to prepare for some of his family to stay overnight, all of the things his cousins wanted to do were things I wasn't interested in and didn't enjoy but on top of that, within a 3 day period of sacrificing all my free time to do stuff I don't really enjoy, wn they wanted to walk 2 miles to a beach on a cold day then hang out forever there the only thing I asked of my boyfriend was if we could meet them there because I didn't want to walk the whole way and he didn't leave that to be an option then the final straw was when tonight, his cousin wanted to play pokemon cards outside for an hour in 45 degree weather at a humidity of 92%. I'm also hypoglycemic and was with my boyfriend for 8 hrs where all there was to eat was cookies and fruitcake (nothing with protein and he is aware of my condition). We left our place to go to his cousin's house then his brother's at 5:30pm and didn't leave his brother's house until 1:30 am (would have been much later if I didn't tell him I was really tired and needed to go home). Perhaps part of the problem is because he's a bit younger than I am and so are his cousins/brother, so, naturally, they are not going to be as socially intelligent or considerate. I'm 30, my boyfriend is 26 and his cousins/brother are in their early 20's. I don't enjoy being in the cold, sitting around doing nothing and smoking pot (don't smoke it), and playing pokemon cards and video games all day. Am I being an old lady or something? I would think 2-3 hours per day spending with your family is enough. Does it have to be 8? I'm ready for bed by 9. ????
