Christmas Eve woes

[Catarinabella]

Went out with my DD and her DH and her Mil for Christmas Eve dinner. All lovely. Their treat. Got home, photo from her showing DD and her mil are at my daughters home with matching pj’s. Apparently the MiL can’t be home alone at this time of year, or wake up alone on Christmas morning. I will be 😢 aibu ?

Hugs. never nice to be alone

Comment, oh what a good idea, I hate being alone too, I'll get my PJ's

Yeah that’s a bit rubbish really.

Did you not ask to also stay?

Hugs, OP.
Does your DD alternate years with you and MIL? At some point, not too close to this Christmas, would it be worth talking to her about it?

I’d say lovely idea I’m assuming Santa left my pjs under the tree for my Christmas night sleepover

but yes not fair or nice maybe after Christmas have a quiet word to your DD

Do you have plans tomorrow?
I would be hurt as they’ve obviously had it pre planned with the matching pjs. Some people just don’t think 🥺

I wouldn't let it spoil the nice time you had. Have you ever said you want to stay over or can't be alone or anything like that? If not then course she'd have mil over who had wanted that and made it known. Be proud that she's being compassionate and arrange to stay over if you want that in future. But being jealous when she's been kind to you both is not a nice reaction even if it's understandable in private.

They never mentioned she was staying?? I would be very upset!

Ooof I can see why that cuts

I would feel the same

That's really shitty. Sorry OP

It’s a shitty thing to do. How did you respond?

Hugs. That would hurt my feelings. Agree it’s best to approach it gently (and maybe lightheartedly). It can be rectified with care :-)
