My mum is saying she is going home now. She lives 2 hrs away and said she would be here until tomorrow lunchtime.
I have food in for her, she really likes to eat, and my son is expecting her to stay. There is lots of food for 3 more meals. She eats twice what I do, I don't mind and am happy to cater. If she's here to eat it. DS enjoys playing with her, is 5, and won't really understand why she is going. She arrived yesterday lunchtime, so that we had Christmas morning as just us (DS, DH and me). First year it's ever been just us 3 and it was nice.
Last year she arrived on xmas eve in the evening and drove back on Christmas Day, in a storm. It ruined Christmas Day for us as she got up and then took dog for a walk, proper hour long walk, when DS had already waited for her before opening presents. He was then waiting for her to get back from walk, but we didn't know where she had gone or how long she would be. At 4 yrs old, he did really well not to have a complete tantrum over it. I silently lost my shit with her so when she announced she was going home, at 11am on Christmas Day, I helped her pack.
Now she is saying she is going after she's walked the dog at 11am. She is on her own and my brother won't have anything to do with her. I don't like to think of her on her own at Christmas, but ffs, she's so miserable and doesn't want to be here. Clearly. DH says I should have it out with her so we know why she doesn't ever want to stay? She always invites herself every year. I just want to let her leave. AIBU?
