...to be angry & upset with parents for considering going to see sister in Oz?

[flowerfairy]

Sister emigrated to Oz with her family at the end of August and have had many a rant about that with Dh, knowing what they ar elike and also discussed with mum at length. Now my parents are considering (and with great probability will go at the beginning of DEc and spend Xmas over there with them. I have my own family(Dh, 2dc and my in laws will be coming for lunch on the day and had assumed my parents would be there too. My Dsister has always relied on my mum for childcare and support while living over here and now they are hot footing it over there. My Dh says I should remind them that they have another daughter and 2 more grandchildren too. HAve waves of feeling selfish and then waves of feeling very emotional nd angry that they will be going over there when they haven't even been gone 6months yet! My mparents will be back in time ofr my birthday and my kids, bu twould still be bitterly disappointed they weren't here.

@WimbledonMum1 why on earth did you resurrect a 5 year old thread?

YABU and your DH sounds like a massive stirrer!

I assume the DGP's are now back and OP has found a grip

OP, you've got the message that YABU now.

Why don't you have a second 'Christmas' with your in laws and parents when they are back? You'll have so many people around you. Your sister may have got all the attention while she lived in the UK (Presuming UK) but it's not like she can now so don't begrudge her and your parents this precious time together.

Oh buggering bollocks. It's a zombie.

Act your age, not your shoe size.

ZOMBIE!!!!!!!!!!

Your parents are perfectly entitled to choose who they'd like to spend Christmas with and where they'd like to spend it. You can always have a belated Christmas celebration if it means that much to you.

Jealousy is your biggest problem here. You'd be the better person to wave your parents off with love and wishing them a fabulous trip.

ZOMBIE!!!!!!!!

Wow. Is this the first families-falling-out-over-Christmas post of 2017? Is that a record for early Christmas posts?

Oh a zombie thread, and I was just about to congratulate you on starting the first xmas thread of the year!

Macarena, OP posted this thread in October. 5 years ago!

Oh bugger. I didn't notice it was 5 years early for 2017 Christmas.
Writes out 100 times -
I must check the date on threads

YABU sorry. It sounds like you don't have a great relationship with your sister. My DSis lives in Sydney and my DM regularly goes over there a few weeks at a time. We get to see my DM more often and she has my DC for a few days at a time so certainly don't begrudge the time she has with my DSis. In fact we've all gone out together at Christmas a couple of times. We never expect anyone to spend Christmas with us, this year we were on our own.

Bugger. Just noticed the 5 years!!! What is going on with these old threads popping up?!

Is there a reason for bringing this thread back to life. Have you all been drinking to much

You are being extremley unkind and sound a bit bitter to be honest, they probably have not saw her since Aigist and how many times have they saw you in that space of time? think about it logically.

Yabvu
I'm presuming they see you quite often so why shouldn't they go to see their other gc?

You sound a bit jealous your sister has emigrated tbh

FFS the OP got enough of a flaming the first time round. Stand easy with your pitchforks folks.

The thing about zombie threads is... it shows up the posters who do not rtft before posting and therefore do not notice all the pps issuing zombie alerts!

Why dont you go as well?

I think op will need one of these first.

Arrghgg bloody zombie thread!

Sure isn't, WimbledonMum, but could you explain why you revived the thread?
