Aibu to rant about Xmas day

[Atwitsend99]

Arrggh so in the past we have cooked for pil and parents. Parents are going elsewhere and Bil has invited pil to join them. Dh thinks pil will change mind and host us. Why would they?? So we are in limbo. My dear sis wants us but dh wants us to wait and see what pil do - why?? We are just in limbo about something that can easily be decided!!

How annoying! From what you say, you haven't spent Christmas with your sister recently, so if she's invited you she'd seem to be the obvious choice.

I don’t get why you wouldn’t just say you’re going to your sister’s this year. You can possibly see Phil next year for Christmas.

PIL. No idea who Phil is.

Phil 😂

DH left to his own devices will probably dither until Christmas Eve. Just make your plans.

Tell them you're going to Phil's!

Thanks for replies. You are both right - it should be a non issue. For some reason I am letting my dh dictate instead of using common sense!

Ha phil can come too

Accept your sister's invitation and if pil invite you a month down the line, you already have plans. If your dh doesn't like it then he can go to his parents and you stick to what you want to do.

I wouldn't bother with Phil though. I've heard he nicks all the best roasties and eats all the coffee creams.

Just go to your sister’s. First come, first served with invites.

I wouldn’t bother with Phil unless Dan is there too.

I won’t be spending Christmas with Phil again.

He knows why.

Either go to DSis if that's what you want to do or plan a lovely Christmas at home with no obligations and do whatever you and DH want.

If DBiL does invite you then you can say that you've got other plans.

Forget Phil.
