Bit late to post now I know, but as usual, am expecting mil for Christmas lunch today. Try to be brief; fil died 5 years ago and dh and his brother do not speak. Mil always assumes she is coming to us and this was fine for a time but she is incredibly 'hard work.' She doesn't attempt any form of conversation and always sits there looking completely miserable and 'waiting to be entertained.' I find the whole thing really stressful and exhausting, ending with my mood hitting the floor by the end of the day. I guess I'm frustrated that it never seems to be bils turn? I feel awful for feeling like this as she must find Xmas hard without fil (& I'd never let anyone face Christmas alone) but its such hard going!
