I've posted here before about my controlling mother issues.
So she is coming to us xmas eve through to the day after boxing day. On boxing day a relative has hired a room at a local pub for people to 'drop in'. Open invitation, no food. Mother wants to go. We do not, an ex boyfriend will be there, also I don't wish to spend the holidays with other people's friends. I've said to mother we won't be going but she is very welcome. She just won't drop it and the other day was laying on the guilt trips, denials "when we go", sulking when I tried to reiterate we won't be there.
Wwyd? am I being unreasonable here? I know we could go for a quick drink but in reality we wouldn't be able to escape and I really don't want to see ex. It's unfair on DH who won't know their friends and doesn't want to go either. We just want to stay home and chill out. Bloody woman!
