I'm sure this has been done to death but I wondered if anyone else was feeling the same as me?
This year it is our turn to have my DD and my DH's DD from Xmas lunch until end of Boxing Day. We do this every year and it has always been fab. But this year DSD has turned in to the DSD from hell. She has decided she hates me. She doesn't want to be anywhere near me and she's being mean to my DD who is in turn acting up left right and centre. DH and I are strong, but all we do is talk about DSD and what to do about her behaviour. I have taken the stance recently that I will just stay out of the way when she is around so that he can spend time with her so I'm worried it's going to drive a wedge.
We've booked a really fancy Xmas lunch out this year and I'm dreading being sat around the table with a ratty horrible teenager.
I'm considering just leaving DH and DSD to it and going to my Mum's but that will just be awful for DH and I don't think I can do it.
Bah-Humbug.
