Bit of a back story -
I’m 30 weeks pregnant with my first baby. Me and his dad aren’t officially together at the moment, but are speaking. He already has plans for Xmas with his family. I live alone and don’t drive.
Sister has asked me round for Xmas, she lives 3 hours away on public transport. I have a midwife appointment on Xmas eve at 1pm so would be travelling after that. Sister has 2 kids and is going out on xmas day to church, then to the vicars house for dinner and celebrations from 10.30am to 4pm. I’ve been invited along but I suffer with social anxiety, and the thought of being around strangers for that long terrifies me. It’s not like I can just put my earphones in and pretend I’m not there, I will actually have to talk to them. Also the long journey is putting me off. It’s 3 hours (a bus then coach then walk) on Xmas eve.. when I will probably just end up staying at hers whilst she’s out and being alone anyway.
My mum has also invited me, she lives half hour away but the house is dirty, and her and her partner smoke in the house. I’d be sleeping on the sofa with the dogs so that’s a definite no.
