So I live a couple of hours away from most of my family, it’s never really been an issue and I enjoy driving so will regularly visit them, especially over the holidays. DH and I usually spend NYE with my dad’s side of the family, they throw a party and it’s nice to get everyone together.
This year I have been heavily pregnant, I’m due with our first baby on NYE, so I haven’t been to visit family over Christmas as I have bad pelvic pain and don’t want to be in the car for long periods. I just prefer to be at home at the minute, able to take myself to bed if need be and to wear whatever clothes I want and not have to get dressed up. I also want a home birth so ideally don’t want to travel too far from home in case I go into labour.
My family have generally been really supportive, a couple of them have come to visit me over Christmas and they’ve been understanding. However, my grandad won’t stop calling me about NYE. He keeps asking if he thinks I will make it to the party, despite me saying multiple times that we will be staying at home. He honestly calls about 3 times a day to ask. We’re very close and I know it’s just because he wants to spend new year with me, but it’s driving me insane. I have said numerous times that he needs to stop asking me, that I won’t be travelling as it’s uncomfortable and that I don’t want to risk being away from home if I go into labour. He isn’t listening, so WIBU to just not answer his calls from now until after new year?
