Anyone else fancy a moan?

[SnowWhitesRestingBitchFace]

So we have both sets of family coming tomorrow for Christmas dinner. My PIL popped round today just to finalise a couple of things and my DM was brought up (she's cooking the turkey tomorrow so just general conversation about what time she'd be here etc) and I mentioned that she's actually staying with us tonight so will be here in the morning. The reason for this is that she's on her own (and although VERY independent) I hated the thought of her being alone (even just for a bit) on Christmas morning.

This was met with snide remarks from FIL about also being alone but not thought of.

First of all he's not alone. He has MIL. It just happens she has to work for a few hours Christmas morning, they still get to wake up together etc! He's also been invited round to my SIL house to open presents with my niece and nephews that morning.

Just as background DH invites him to do stuff all the time which he declines/makes excuses for then puts up silly Facebook status' etc when he's got the hump.

I don't want to be made to feel guilty about having my mum here when she would have been alone otherwise. Actually even if she hadn't of been alone I don't want to feel guilty either way. She's amazing and does more then anyone would expect for us.

Sorry I rambled on for longer then intended. It's nothing major, very first world problem and no one is going to fall out over it (I think/hope) just fancied a rant and I'm more then willing to listen to everyone else's!

Merry Christmas! (Someone have a drink for me as I'm pregnant and orange juice just really isn't hitting the spot right now!)

What did your husband say to his father when he uttered the snide remarks???

@LovingLola he didn't hear him (we live/work in the same building and he was busy at the time). He's totally aware of what his DF is like (and sometimes his DM for that matter), doesn't pander to them whatsoever and would have told him straight how ridiculous he was being if he'd heard him. They aren't bad people, just different to my parents I guess and maybe I find their dynamic odd sometimes for silly reasons.

I'll have a drink for you! Your FIL sounds like an ass. To be honest anybody who moans on Shitbook are attention seekers. Your mum sounds wonderful. In your shoes I would ignore that silly comment and if he continues to disrespect your mum, definitely have DH talk to him. Merry Christmas!

Can I have a moan. I am so worked up about what my mum and dad will say about my less then perfect house I have not enjoyed the run up to Christmas with my little boy at all
I have fibromyalgia and at the moment having up to 20 epileptic seizures a week plus working three days and DH is working 50 hours a week so the house has taken a back seat. I just know there will be snide remarks. They always come to watch DS open his presents and I am dreading it

@WhatWot thank you  she really is wonderful, we would be lost without her.

@goldengimbas if they aren't satisfied then fuck them! You have enough on your plate, just enjoy your Christmas (for what it's worth I've not enjoyed the run up to it one bit either. Both DH and I work in an industry that is at its busiest this time and year and have spent zero time together or with the kids). Anyone who moans about such silly things on Christmas Day when you're going through such a rough time doesn't deserve your thoughts or effort.

Thanks. I am just leaving everything now and they can take us as they find us or do one. The bits of the house they will go in are not to bad now but my god if my mum put her head in our bedroom, DS bedroom or the spare room she would have a duck fit. You can't even see our bedroom floor
