Yes, i know, we are in March!
Just wanted to see what people thought of this.
Dad lives abroad, comes home for Xmas rarely, maybe once every 5 years. I have two young DC who would love to spend it with him. Last year he was umming and aahing about coming home, Dh said we'd love to have you (have never hosted before) so let us know. He decided not to come.
DSis (fave child- seriously!!) told me last week that she was having him for Christmas day this year plus my nan and grandad, and we were welcome to join them in the evening for games (like an evening wedding guest?!) as she knows we like to have dinner on our own (not particularly, it's just everyone normally does their own thing)
Now he hasn't even told me yet that he is here for Xmas, and they have already made plans.
I am pissed off and v upset.
Wanted to see what others thought.
AIBU?

That’s fucking nasty.
One time I spent weeks asking my family if they wanted to make plans for Easter/ what should we do? No one got back to me at all despite repeatedly asking and DM DF and Dsis all went to other Dsis house for lunch with her family. I was very upset, I found out on the day via the family group chat!

@KreedKafer dsis has taken away the option of me and dc having Xmas dinner with my dad though?

Can’t you have a second Christmas dinner another day?

So you speak to him regularly...but did you ask him about Xmas?
Maybe she just asked him first?
How come you don't normally spend Xmas with your sister? Is that part of why your dad doesn't come? So he doesn't have to choose? Did you invite them to you last year?
