I split with my husband of 15 years last October. He stayed over during the Christmas period which was awkward and confusing for everyone. He doesn't do any of the work (cooking, gift buying) at Christmas but I think realistically he cares more about it than I do. This year I'm thinking of just going away for a couple of days and leaving him and the kids to do it alone together. Aibu? They're 7 and under if it makes a difference. My ex and I don't have any family to spend it with so every year it would be one of us alone at home while the other gets the kids. Or sitting around awkwardly together. I'm just wondering if maybe I take the hit and get in the habit of not doing Christmas anymore and it being a special tradition for just them. The way some kids have parents of different religions and celebrate different holidays. I'm the main carer and don't get much time alone so if I can make it positive I might look forward to the time alone.
