AIBU to think that you should make an effort for Christmas?

For background, I’m 13 weeks post c section and have had a pretty complicated start to parenting. It has been a really rough three months.

SIL and the PILs are arriving tonight for Christmas at our house. They all live a 4-5 hour drive away. They weren’t supposed to arrive until Christmas Eve. That is a bit infuriating as we’ve been running around trying to organise bedding today.

SIL has just made a comment about how little effort she has made with her Christmas shopping. She has been out this morning for an hour and just bought stuff. She’s not even sure who is going to get what gift wise. I’m not sure she has got her current DP a gift at all.

I’ve spent so much time and effort and money organising Christmas Day, ordering the food, getting presents, sorting out alternative foods for FIL who is a fussy eater, making sure that we have the specific things that SIL likes.

AIBU to think it’s weird to acknowledge how much effort me and DH have put into organising Christmas with a baby, whilst boasting about how little you’ve put in?

@rookemere The original plan was that my parents were also going to be here and do Christmas dinner. There was a family situation that meant that they now aren’t coming, so it has all been a bit up in the air.

If they or you have money look for vacancy in local B and B or travel lodge. Cheekybfuckers. You know for next year, visit before or after and have nice quiet Xmas on your own. They are two days early you can't host all that time. They should provide food or take you out tomorrow, and go out themselves on Monday, perhaps sil (how old is she) will like to shop!

Why have they arrived so early? Have you asked?

You can't just rock up two days early and not address why! Madness!
