We're not overly close and DH isn't that close to her either (his sister) but our kids are similar ages and we try and see each other 2 or 3 times a year. Kids all like seeing each other. She lives 2 hours away.
I normally work Xmas Day or Boxing Day but this year have both days off. But I don't have any a/l over Xmas or NY so will be working full time. Not allowed a/l.
So we're going to see MIL on Boxing Day. She's delighted. SIL says she can't make it that day as her step sons always come over on Boxing Day and will be terhe all day. She's rung and left a message saying about her coming to see us one other day.
I probably am being a miserable humbug Scrooge but am stressed out about having no time to relax, etc over Xmas. I'm not going to see either of my (divorced) parents or my brother over Xmas. I won't see my brother at all but need to sort out days to see my mum and my dad (seperate days). Although my dad may come Xmas Day, he's waiting to see if he gets a better offer before accapting!
I just want one day with no visitors and no visitng where I can slump infron of the TV with a massive box of chocolates and get pissed. If I say yes to her coming then this is unlikely to happen. We did see SIL the other week so its not like its been ages.
AIBU?
