My worst Christmas ever!!!

I have had every moment of pregnancy and new born firsts shat all over by my ghastly inlaws, thought I had this Christmas as a family of 3 stress free but no, his mother had to start drama and then his father and brother had to start in too. Really heartbroken about it, but need to get angry and just cut them off for good now.

Stripyunicorn · 25/12/2023 22:04

It's not been the best here.
DH has had a sulky face all day, looks like he would rather be anywhere but here. Insists nothing wrong with him though when I've asked.
He did have a moan last night about not getting many presents so I'm assuming it's something to do with that, but he's honestly awful to buy for so I just hate it. I'm shit at buying presents at the best of times, and he's so picky and specific about what he wants, and just comes across really ungrateful regardless of what he gets, so I decided not to waste my time this year. Got him what he asked for and didn't bother trying to get anything else. Seems like that is wrong too 🤷‍♀️

Not the worst day but not the best. Started off with DP sharting all over me in bed at 5am… so definitely “shit” day for me. Thank fuck for gin.

Say what now. You got sharted on and it’s not the worst day?!!!

frecklejuice · 25/12/2023 22:05

@AngelAurora it might not be "just a cold", my Mum and Sister have had heavy colds now for a week and feel rotten. They aren't bed bound and yes it's not flu but they aren't well and it's spoilt their christmas.

Comfysock · 25/12/2023 22:06

UPDATE
I posted as was feeling sorry for myself thinking bet just me. So rubbish isnt it ... then the happy clappers posting their perfect family pics...makes me feel worst

What? I must say you seem to have taken that on the chin way better than I could have??

ThreeLocusts · 25/12/2023 22:10

Good food (cooked by me) and kids entertaining each other well.

I, however, catatonic after spending last term dealing with endless, endless fuckups by mental health services and consequent suicidal ideations by middle child.

It's been ok apart from no contact at all from my parents. Radio silence. They did say they weren't celebrating Christmas this year but thought they may have phoned to talk to the DC but obviously not. Makes me sad but nothing more I can do

MissHavershamReturns · 25/12/2023 22:14

ND ds strugled today and was tearful at bedtime. I feel sad he didn’t have the best day. But he did love his main gift and I managed to get him to join us for a movie and board game even if he didn’t really do Xmas dinner. So trying to focus on the good bits.

ForTonightGodisaDJ · 25/12/2023 22:14

Christ you ain't lyin. My worst ever too!

Nooooo!!

JANEY205 · 25/12/2023 22:16

Mine has been mostly good, because we stay home and don’t host anyone! Just focus on our own kids, have easy prepped meals and chill out mostly. However now struggling with heartburn and health anxiety and so I’m in my own head effectively ruining it for myself!! Have a health test tomorrow I’m extremely anxious over :/

watchingfromthesideline · 25/12/2023 22:17

Awful one for me. My husband ended our marriage four weeks ago and last week I discovered his affair. Been staying with his family as originally planned for the sake of our little one. He's confidently walking around without any compassion or problems in life. His family have been lovely but it's been a bloody awful day. He hasn't even stopped to ask how I am. Not a day that I was expecting to have!

Coqueta · 25/12/2023 22:18

I have a chest infection and can't stop coughing/vomming. Dh has the shits so constantly in the toilet, moaning all the effing time.

I cooked a big Xmas dinner all alone, ate 4 forkfuls then coughed copiously vommed it all up.

Dc just wanted tv and chocolate - i shouldn't have bothered spending ages in the kitchen, or buying good, should have bought 3 ready meals

My very few presents i got from family and friends were shit- generic and thoughtless - and included a set of 4 cake forks from my aunt because I don't have any (i actually do but never use them as I don't eat cake) as well as clichéd gin minis (I don't drink due to religious beliefs) and a bath set (no bath since March as we got it taken out when refurbished)

I spent a lot of time buying apt, good quality gifts that I know people like snd use (im talking half price clinique gift sets, wool scarves, aftershave etc) and o see that's what people think of me, or don't more to the point is really hurtful.
I know I sound ungrateful but I just feel so unimportant and a last thought

I'm going to bed now as there's nothing left to salvage at this stage except my dignity

Ifeellikeateenageragain · 25/12/2023 22:18

Was nice up until 45 mins ago when DP decided to get in a strop 🤦‍♀️

Do it! You won’t regret it! Disengage and she can’t ruin anymore!

moderationincludingmoderation · 25/12/2023 22:19

Spent Xmas eve and Xmas day in hospital, in the most pain I've ever experienced. 9 hours in A&E followed by 24 hours on a ward.

Home now, in less agony.

MaMisled · 25/12/2023 22:21

My 2 incredible, selfless, generous, funny, kind grown up DDs (23 and 25) are here and being total little arsehole bitches! I've burst into tears at least 6 times. They apologise then fall about with hysterical laughter. They are currently incapable of speech or bladder control, literally on the floor howling. I'm cross but kinda happy they're so happy. And I have a sore throat.

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.

This ^ toxic people must be.

Comfysock · 25/12/2023 22:22

@ThreeLocusts what you've mentioned is part of why the last few days have been horrendous...lm so sorry you have gone...going through this. Im.at the start of this journey and I have no one to talk to about what's happened with DS. I dont even know what to do after having him admitted to A&E and sitting there for 5 hours only to be told it will be a 14 hour turm around to actual get him in front of the crisis team. Whilst pissheads walked in with cut heads and broken arms and got priority 😡 then started fighting....he had a panick attack and he begged us to take him home.

I did all the cooking ,washing up etc ,

Two adult kids visiting never offer to help PLUS they had the telly bellowing , no peace.

I took the dog out for a bit of escape.

They're now all buried in their phones, I can't wait till they all go home, then I can properly relax.

Why didn't you tell them to get off their arses and pitch in?

Get them told. My adult kids pitch in , it's part of a family Christmas

BingBunnyBlues · 25/12/2023 22:27

I'm sorry to all of you who've had a rotten day.

The comment about 'taking it on the chin' when the 'it' referenced was spousal sharting has given me a graphic mental image.
