Yep. I had a family member die today.

Not one of my friends messaged to say Merry Christmas

I'm so sorry to hear that. Maybe people thought it inappropriate to message you ?

Littlebitpsycho · 25/12/2023 21:43

Mines been shit too.

I'm a massive grinch normally and I made so much effort this year to get in the spirit and make things special.

Wish I hadn't bothered, normal service to resume next year as the effort I went to was pointless

@Lecc

None of them knew he was ill, it was very sudden.

Ap24 · 25/12/2023 21:44

I've thrown up, split my lip and have been in bed since 3pm. But this time next year I'll have a baby!

Well. I’ve NC for this, but I have finally realised, almost 3 years after discovering my “devoted and loving” husband was having an affair with an acquaintance of mine, that I deserve fucking more. He’s tried and he’s sorry but I’m fucking DONE. She was 20 years my senior and a more unpleasant woman you’ve never met. He is weak and pathetic and I have jettisoned that fat wanker. 2024 will be the year I find myself again. Merry Christmas.

Good for you @Wellcantthisyearjustfuckrightoff
When you finally know, you know.
Onwards and upwards for 2024 without ‘that fat wanker’

First Christmas since DF died and I ended up spending it at in law's because DH's uncle is terminally ill and it seemed the right thing to do to spend Christmas with them. They weren't even there, so now I feel guilty because I didn't spend the day with my DM 😩just before we got out of the car at my in-laws DD4 decided to say "your Daddy isn't here and I miss him" which nearly tipped me over the edge. In-laws were snappy and irritating and I just wanted to leave all day, which must have been obvious but I just don't fucking care.

Now I'm home and we're hosting our friend who lives with us and her lovely but neurodiverse sibling who demands a lot of attention and I am just done with people but it's too early to go to bed...

neilyoungismyhero · 25/12/2023 21:46

@OldTinHat better than being sharted on at 5 am I would say .

Ifancythegrinch · 25/12/2023 21:46

Yep.

It’s been horrible.

828Pax · 25/12/2023 21:47

Me too! Daughter in hospital and then to top it off I had a migraine start

I'm sorry for your loss.

Sensibleandboring · 25/12/2023 21:47

Yes, I’m introverted, adhd & quite autistic and my gf was excited and wanted my attention every few minutes this morning as she loves Christmas but it did feel like I had a 7 year old child. It was fine for an hour but after 2 or 3 hours I was getting overwhelmed. At one point there was a loud film on, she asked me to read instructions of air fryer & play with a new game with her all at once all the noise was too much & I snapped at her and asked if she could just relax. She’s only just started talking to me again and that was at 2pm. And I did all the cooking and tidying. I needed to curl up & read my book quietly so I did. I’m crap at Christmas

backonthemerrygoround · 25/12/2023 21:47

Yip! Was in line to be amazing and was suddenly/shockingly shit instead. There is something in people that just wants things to be crap.

SleepWalkerShitTalker · 25/12/2023 21:49

@GreySantaRabbit

Thanks very much.

Sorry to everyone who had a bad day. I am wishing you a lovely rest of the evening

thesurreymum · 25/12/2023 21:50

Not great here, turned up at ILS and 2 of them were full of stinking colds coughing and spluttering everywhere. Can't wait for my family to come down with it in the coming days. DH got absolutely drunk and made a right fool of himself Angry

GreySantaRabbit · 25/12/2023 21:51

I'm sorry so many of you had a bad day. I hope those who are in a bad situation are in a better place next year and I wish you all the best xx

Sodullincomparison · 25/12/2023 21:52

So bloody boring!

I feel all I have done is clear up and taken rubbish out to the bins all day long.

DD5 said it was the best Christmas ever.

for me so feel like we are all going through the motions and are all bored and find it so dull.

SoRainbowRhythms · 25/12/2023 21:52

Spent all day with a man who is about to leave me. Not recommended!

AngelAurora · 25/12/2023 21:52

twiddlingthumbs69 · 25/12/2023 21:16

Definition worst ever here. My 60th birthday tomorrow and total write off due to colds etc. Miserable

It's just a cold 🙄

twiddlingthumbs69 · 25/12/2023 21:53

@GinJeanie thank you so much ☺️

Fernticket · 25/12/2023 21:54

@SleepWalkerShitTalker . Sorry for your loss. There is nothing I can say to help you feel better,have an unmumsnetty hug instead.
To everyone else, wishing us all a better day tomorrow.💐

guineapigslave · 25/12/2023 21:55

First Xmas with DP (the family I'd usually have spent it with died since last Christmas). Doesn't feel very festive. My only presents from him were actually for my pet (per username) and things I intended to buy, while mine for him were very personal and treats rather than practical... feeling like an ungrateful cow!

User101223 · 25/12/2023 21:56

Huge family argument that involved screaming at each other before dinner was even served. Weve not even opened the half of the baby's stocking and we haven't even managed to get the toddlers bike out of the boot. Husband is the only one being civil to me and that's because he's worried I'm going to leave him as soon as the new year arrives.

Thmssngvwlsrnd · 25/12/2023 21:56

Sending hugs to you all. Sorry so many of you have had a rubbish Christmas day x

Notmollybutdolly · 25/12/2023 21:58

I’m at my elderly in laws who have a nice comfortable house, lovely food, but literally do not make conversation with me. Unless it’s about their friends the lawyers, the doctors, the in laws that they hate. No one asks how I am, how my family are. And all day my family at home have been having a lovely Christmas as we’ve had some great news recently re: my mums health and my brother got engaged. And I’m lying here counting down the hours til we can go home 😢 I did count out 10 things I am grateful for today but eve. That was a struggle!! Also the house is too hot 🤣🤣🤣

Tellmesomethingidontknow · 25/12/2023 21:59

Yep , live alone and tested positive for covid Christmas eve . Feeling rough.
