Divorced this year. Not that I had much help with putting together Christmas when I was married.
I have my parents coming over in addition to my three kids (6-10).
My mum will bake treats and make puddings. And my dad will keep an eye on the turkey and carve. He’ll also buy the drinks and make sure we are all topped up.
I just have so much work to do - cleaning, table, cooking, shopping etc. Dad bought over a tree and the house is decorated but I’m sat on myself trying to convince myself to get up. And I just am so overwhelmed.
My mum has offered to come over and help but I don’t want to have to tell where every little thing goes and can be found.
Kids have helped me with washing and putting away clothes, tidying their bedrooms and just general decluttering.
How are you enjoying Xmas if you have the majority of the work to do?
