Hi all sorry if this is long I don't want to drip feed and it's more of a WWYD than a AIBU I have just had to tell my mum that I will be working Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day so she won't get to see me and she's really upset and angry about it for some reason she thought I didn't have to work Christmas and it's the 2nd year running that I've worked Christmas Day. I can't change my shifts because I'm a care assistant and I work nights and everyone's shifts have been sorted out. I can understand why she's upset about it because last year both me and my dad missed out on Christmas Day because my dad was ill and I had work in the night so it ended up being just her, my DSis and my dn and my mum said it was horrible and didn't feel like Christmas. I tried to make her feel better about the whole thing by telling her that I'm off for my birthday which is 3 days before Christmas but I don't think that made her feel any better. I didn't mean to upset her I know she wanted a big family Christmas this year but there's noting I can do about my shifts but I feel bad about it all now. WWYD in my situation.
