What do you all generally do at Christmas ? Since living together three years ago I have had to spend every Christmas Day with PIL.
I cooked for 14 at mine so I could see both families the year before last , then last year spent at theirs which was awful if I am honest . They won't play games , she won't laugh or have fun . FIL tests you on who sang what or who starred in whatever film ( all pre 1970) . This year was under the impression they were seeing their other DS as I had made clear the deal was I see my family this year when saw them last .... however , they have deliberately not made plans and DH has told them we will be seeing them without discussing with me . He was even willing to have separate Christmas's so as not to leave them alone ?

So , I have ended up offering to do lunch for them and some of my large family yet again as a compromise (my idea of hell ) . Unfortunately I cannot relax around my Mother or MIL lol and them together gives me anxiety at the thought haha. In addition to this PIL like to have sleepovers despite us living less than 10 minutes drive and us willing to pay taxi . I will be around 28 weeks pregnant at Christmas . Hahahahaha .
My idea of a perfect Christmas is to go away with the children and not have to people please if I'm honest
