I've committed a major Christmas faux pas, I accidentally set my expectations too high and now I'm a blubbering mess
The day started with dd1 waking up upset having leaked through her pull up, I could deal with that, it happens. Present opening went well, at around midday dp's aunt popped round to drop presents off, right when dd1 was being a menace and I was telling her off and I'm now mortified and thinking she thinks I'm terrible for shouting at my child on Christmas Day. When they left we dished out the presents, there was an envelope each for dp, and both dd's with money in them, but not one for me, which upset me not because I didn't get money but because I felt left out. It was most likely a mistake, I get on well with them and they're nice people so I got irrationally upset about that.
Getting upset then triggered me to start thinking about my granddad, who passed away earlier this year, and how it's the first Christmas without him etc. After that dd2 has been refusing to nap, I've spent the best part of 1.5hours trying to get her to sleep meaning I've felt like I've been missing out on Christmas. Dd2 now asleep but I'm now upset that she will most likely be napping through dinner and although at 7months she really won't care, I was really looking forward to all of us sitting round the table for a nice meal at Christmas.
All in all its my own fault for falling into the trap of setting my expectations too high. Apart from the above its actually been quite a nice day, just needed a rant really. Anyone else's day been less than perfect? Do share.
