There are 2 of us, me and my brother. At Christmas I tend to go to my mums (both of us in London area) and my brother goes to his ILs house who are in SW England.
Both my brother and his wife don't see ILs much partly because his wife works 3 weekends out of 4. She hasn't always done this.
Brother comes to us for Xmas eve but then is in bath all Xmas week. Sometimes my aunt and uncle come over but unless I see friends I feel obliged to stay at mum and dads. My brother has now stayed with them approx 5 years running. God knows what they'll do when kids come along. My mum is a bit hurt he can't spend Xmas with or without wife and ILs but she rarely makes a fuss. She'd like brother round a bit more though she's told me.
AIBU to think my brother at least should spend more of Xmas with us or am I being selfish?
I did suggest we could stay SW England as ILs can only really put up 3 people and their spare double is too small for my parents....
