Lonely christmas eve

Posting for traffic and NC for this.
Im eastern european so we celebrate on the 24th not 25th.
First christmas with baby, were supposed to visit family but they are now isolating so its only 3 of us (me, baby and dh)
Dh drops presents to his children every year on the 24th and as usual i asked him to go early and come back early for christmas eve dinner. Its 4hrs round trip + possible traffic and he only left now.
I was upset when he was leaving because it means he may be back 17:30-18:30 and i start putting baby to bed around 19 and the whole routine takes up to 1-2hours (sleep regression).
So no time for dinner and im so upset to be spending this evening by myself.
Dh left arguing that im creating problems with his children and he wont be bothered to come back. So just great christmas.

Make it cosy for yourself and baby, sorry you feel alone this Christmas. Next year will be better. I would possibly leave DH to it and see how he makes things up. Hopefully he will understand what he's done wrong and make better arrangements next year. If you can keep your cool with DH and concentrate on yourself and baby, it will help keep you strong and know how to go forwards if things don't improve. Keep smiling Flowers
