Bearing in mind Christmas is only a week away, my mother in law has phoned yesterday and asked my husband what time she can expect us on Christmas Eve because his sister and her kids are all getting there in time for the children’s church service. Up until that point we had had no plans to go to her house for Christmas and I’d already told my parents we’re spending it at our house because I want the kids to come down and have Christmas at home, surrounded by their presents etc. Plus, our kids are the youngest (only 14 months) and they get slight pushed aside by their cousins on his side because they are all 8+.
His mum is now playing the guilt card that she has never seen the twins on Christmas - we went to my parents last year but that was purely because they live closer and I wasn’t driving a hundred miles with newborn twins!
How does everyone else do it? I can see this being an issue from here on out and there has already been more than a few tense words between my husband and I!
