My DP works nights and has to work xmas eve and xmas night working from 5pm to 7am he isnt a great lover of xmas and is happier that he has New years off which we will spend togther.
His Son has gone to Italy with his mum for a week so he wont be seeing him either.
Every year for as long as I can remember me and the DDs who are 18 and 19 have gone back to my home town for xmas and have a great time and when I was on my own with the DDs was a godsend.
The dds love it and always want to go and spend xmas with there Grandma and cousins.
My sister just got divorced this year so its a hard one for her and always welcomed me and the DDs for xmas every year at her home, my partner and his son came with us last year.
A friend I was telling today thinks I am being really selfish leaving my dp here on his own and should have stayed and cooked him dinner and he could have spent some hours with us xmas day.
The thing is he will have to sleep some of it and then be gone by 4.30 in the evening back to work.
The DDs would have been upset if we didn't go back and although my family would have understood they would have been upset too.
My DP has said he will be fine and he can sleep and have pick of the tv and I will make sure there is nice food for him.
We are only going for a couple of days and back the 27th. But my friend thinks I am selfish and I should have stayed here this year.
