Help me not be a martyr

Xmas is coming and thinking about family etc. It's likely well invite DH family round but I don't really want to. They're nice people but recently have driven me mad. They turn up unannounced and go on and on. Phone at the worst times. One family member is a fantasist who won't let anyone else talk. They also cancel at the last min and generally annoy me.

In what way are you a martyr?

Loopytiles · 02/11/2018 09:19

You can help yourself - assertiveness and self care.

Decide what you do and don’t wish to do, discuss with DH what he wishes to do, agree on it and then he tells his family if necessary.

Eg I wouldn’t welcome regular unexpected visitors!

because I'll have them round then moan that makes me a martyr
