Where are you going to be for Christmas?
in Baby
I really really want to have Harry's christmas with just me, OH and Harry.
However i've just been informed by MIL that all of her family are coming over for xmas day so they can see harry. Now i don't actually ever get asked if we can come, its assumed that its fine as i don't go back to work yet (and clearly i do nothing with my days).
Its really pissed me off a treat and OH can't see a problem with it! He thinks that as we live with my parents (not out of choice) that they are going to be able to see HArry at xmas and its not fair etcetcetc. I've had all these bloody jealousy problems for MIL and her family from day one and to be honest, i really wanted to take harry down to london where my parents have a place, and have xmas there. On our own. With no distractions. Or family.
Is that too unreasonable in this day and age..? xxx

If you really want to spend xmas away with just the three of you then why dont you just go to london? your mil will soon get over it. xx
mines with OH mum, staying in london on xmas eve, xmas breakfast at his sisters, n lunch at his mums then going to his dads on boxing day, then on 29th i have to meet up with my sons dad not looking forward to this, new years at OH sisters n then home for another xmas at my mums and dadsn then another at home lol, bloody hard work lol
Personally I love spending christmas with all the family, it's great. I don't have to cook, Gabe gets loads of attention and I get a break! Tbh I know I'm weird but I love living with the pil's, I think its fab that Gabe is spending his first year in a noisy house with family all around, we will be moving out next year and I think I might have another baby just so we dont get lonely, lol.
I think even next year when we move, we'll either be coming to pil's or my parents cos just 3 of us would be a bit dull, christmas is all about cracker puling and exchanging jokes after all lol
Then on 27th, we're off to a cottage in Shropshire for the New Year and I'm really looking forward to it!
