We had DP's parents round yesterday for lunch and a present swap before Xmas, as we are going on the train and it's easier for them to take some now.

They came through the door and one of the first thing his Dad said was 'oh I see we have a delivery of xxx coming to the house for Christmas'.

I pretended that I hadn't heard but was really upset, and sad for DP as its quite an expensive present that he must have put some thought into.

I don't know if I am being unreasonable as I used to find DP's parents hard work but have worked to get on with them and thought I had suceeded. But they spent yesterday being rude, overbearing, racist and pretentious (think shaking finger at me while telling me that women should not be allowed to choose whether to wear burkhas or not). I don't know if I am letting that colour it more.

I am now worried about Xmas, as we are going to them and it will be my first Xmas away from my family. I have tried so hard to like them but I am just so cross!

Flash a bit of cleavage, it depends on FIL's job but he prob hasn't seen any for a while and might be a useful distraction mid diatribe. Hard to take on 'the little woman' tone if the little woman looks sexy.

"josie I can't imagine anything worse!
