BiL has just merrily mentioned that he, SiL and two toddlers have 'heavy colds'. We are in our way to lovely PiLs for Christmas and due to spend Christmas Eve day at SiLs.
This has been heavily negotiated as SiL wanted us to stay with them for the duration. They are hard work (odd parenting style, not much fun, disorganised and spend most of time bickering). I have agreed we will stay with MiL (who is also delighted they only have to go to SiL for a day).
We have a toddler and a baby. Baby has only just gotten over a cold, I spent last Christmas in bed with a cold SiL gave to me. DH spent previous Christmas in bed. So I don't want to go to see them, assuming they are still ill. But it also feels mean. They have no other family around and are, I suspect quite lonely. DH is adamant we should not go (it's his brother) and has spent much of last year grumbling about how they ruined his last Christmas, but I could persuade him we should do the nice thing, much as I don't want to... WWYD?
