To have hid and not answered door......

Aibu? 830 this morning my SILs their DHs kids etc turn up at front door.... Can see they are laden with presents but I didn't open the door. My children and I have been excluded from lunch tomorrow and I guess I'm still raging mad. On top of which my 4 yr old has been unwell overnight and here's me hair scraped back off white (ahem grey) holey pyjamas whilst they all look like something out of dynasty with their matching handbags and shoes!

So would I bu to not answer door, respond to messages etc or respond with " I'm actually rather upset that my children and I are not welcome at the lunch tomorrow so which would have meant more to us than your gifts do please don't worry about bringing them round. - clumsy."

Thanks, don't want to respond until I can think objectively and mn us great for perspective! Btw I didn't know or expect them to be coming... Completely random visit as they all descended on in laws last night from various parts of the country.

Oh no, I hope your dd is ok in the morning. What a dreadful worrying time. I hope by Christmas eve you are watching your dc sleep at home and have spoken to your dh.

I hope your sil keep out of your way. And your mil and them dont try to rewrite history to your dh. He must be so worried. Can you send an im on Skype whilst they are on deployment? He will get it when he logs in?

buildingmycorestrength · 26/12/2012 01:33

Hi Clumsy, hope all is okay with you and DD especially. Have been ducking out of Christmas periodically to see if any news...thinking of you.

Ruprekt · 26/12/2012 20:28

Please update Clumsy.

We just want to know you are all OK.

I suspect you might have ended up at your inlaws and dont want to tell us as you think we will judge you but your DD was poorly and I am sure your inlaws would not have wanted you to be on your own.

No one will say nasty things............

Hope you are all right.

xx
