DH's nephew (20) has been with his girlfriend for nearly a year, we have met her a couple of times. We sort of expected that if he came with his parents to us for Christmas that he might bring her, but when I phoned SIL to invite her family for Xmas, there was no mention of said girlfriend. However, he texted me just now saying "Would it be ok if C came to stay with you at Xmas too?", C being his girlfriend.
I have no objection to her coming, I'm just bloody pissed off that he's only decided to ask 2 days before he is due to arrive, after we have planned meals and where everyone is sleeping etc (there will be 19 people in the house even without including her so we had it all planned like a military operation, lol). I also hadn't actually bought her anything, just got a card, so I will have to just find something in the supermarket when I go to do my last shop (and probably something for MIL to give her as well as she will not have a chance to get to the shops before I go to collect her tomorrow morning).
Argh. Sorry for the rant.
