To want Christmas at home just the 3

Ok so I'm going to be around 6 months pregnant at Christmas and we already have a 20 month old!

Most Xmas we spend with my partners family they have quite a large family and are always together. I don't have the best relationship with my family not as close as partners.

Anyway last year went to partners family but had to be there for like 2/3 which meant my mum and sister only got to see my daughter for a few hours then we had to rush and see my dad and then go for dinner. Previous year was heavily pregnant and went out for Xmas dinner not my choice was rubbish the meal cost a fortune etc year before I did it at my house for everyone.

Anyway this year I just want it at home with just us and the dog (feel tight always leaving the dog) but partner family don't really get it and not the happiest about it and I feel guilty on my partner missing out with his family.

AIBU? I just want a nice chilled morning at home DD can play with her toys if people wanna visit they can etc and then after tea we will go to his family's I feel like I'm being a humbug ha

Set a precedent now if this is what you will want going forward. To be honest, with young children, it is much easier to be at home. We spend every year at home, the three of us. We don't host and we don't visit anyone, and there's no guilt. We always have a lovely day.
