I tried my hardest to be happy and make it a good day for everyone, but as soon as we are all sat to the table it feels like a ‘let’s pick fault at mum’ opportunity. This happens at most family meals. I try to ignore it but when they all decide to go at it, I eventually snap back at them. DH then jumps in to say I need to stop arguing with them. Yes I’m probably OTT and acting a child myself, but it feels they pick at literally every thing I say or do. I’ve honestly had enough and am thinking next year I’ll spend xmas away from them all.

YABU- I Should ignore them and bite my tongue
YANBU- I’ve every right to get annoyed and say so
