Just come on here and rant/cry/shout/laugh whatever, at least I'll know I'm not alone.

I mean I did apologide for what I said about dh's friends at the dinner table yesterday, but apparently today my attitude has been terrible (WTF) cant pinpoint anything but it has, so there!!!! And its my fault that he hasnt sorted anywhere for the dog to go whilst we go to my mums, he couldnt possibly ask his parents god no, I mean they cooked a whole dinner, thats right ONE FUCKING DINNER, i cook every bloody night, doesnt do me any favours. Ive done nothing this xmas too, despite working until staurday then spending all night wrapping whilst he went out and got pissed with his weird friends.

there Ive had my rant, actually feel a bit lighter now

Well DH's mum told us BIL was only off for Christmas Day so she and FIl were spending the day with them and would bring GP's to see us Boxing Day. Poor GD is very poorly and had an awful journey and was quite uncomfortable while here.

Then MIL let slip that BIL also had today off!! And him and SIL were going to her brothers today! Why could he not have gone to his GP for one of the days like we always have in the past and GD would'nt have had to endure such a horrendous journey and the discomfort of being driven to us - we would have gone there!

Really pissed off with MIL!

I'll join you christmosschops30, although mine wasn't as bad as yours.

Started friday i had d & v bug, so ill on friday night to sunday dh had to cope with dd, christmas dh get the bug so i spent last night from 6pm by myself as dd fell asleep and dh went to bed.

Then today we had to go the inlaws, dh was told yesterday dinner was at 3pm, to which we had a dicussion about what a stupid time for dinner for a 2.11 year old I mean do i give her something to eat at 11ish as she is used to having dinner at 12pm and wouldn't understand that it's later.

So i give her half a sandwich so she can last, get a phone call at 1.30 to ask what time we are going over i say it be after 2pm as dd is a sleep. Get asked if i can wake her dinner has cooked quicker ( an hour and half ealier). Go and tell dh that we need to go his parent NOW, and get "i was told dinner is 3pm".

So wake dd up she not happy, go to his parents for dinner dd not that hungry as already eaten. MIL dishes her a massive dinner (i would have been happy with it) then get upset that she hardly eats anything other then the meat, MIL trying to force her to eat potatoes that she knows that she wont eat them.

Then for 2nd year running dh is bullied by mil. She spent 10 mins shouting that its was his fault that a bird she hard when he was 10 (dh is now 36) broke it's leg.

We left as fast as we could and all is well.

DD has been throwing up since xmas eve and still going for it, along with bad cough. Me and hubby have terrible colds.

Dh's xmas present didn't work. Got a refund but it was end of line, so no replacement. Similar things are twice the price and can't afford one!

southeastastra · 26/12/2006 21:17

I have because dh fell asleep last night on the sofa, so I was watching tv by myself all evening. Only bad because on our first anniversary earlier this year, he had a vomiting bug so that makes two important dates messed up in one year... Nothing like yours though... In fact, you make me feel positively blessed!!

southeastastra · 26/12/2006 21:20

tell him at least you have an attitude that'll fluxomed him!

christmosschops30 · 26/12/2006 21:22

lol southeastastra told him he's a self-righteous fuckwit, that'll do for now

christmas itself was good but the boiler packed up yesterday morning so have been without heating since. brittish gass apparently coming out tomorrow to look at it - they'd bloody better be able to fix it.

santamum · 27/12/2006 15:01

I will see you your boiler and your arguement, and raise you a Father who in a low sugar induced temper, (he is a medication controlled diabetic),misheard something innocent that someone else had said, attributed it wrongly to me, called me all the names under the sun and actually threatened me with physical violence, (despite me being 5 months pg), in front of the 25 assorted family and friends we had round the house yesterday to celebrate my daughters 1st birthday...I ended up in tears for most of it in the end despite my best efforts, and it was a real shame as I had been looking forward to it for months!

It all went rather swimmingly after that anyway as im sure you can imagine!

I am back at work today which I usually hate, but today it was blessed relief!

Taichimum · 29/12/2006 15:03

Blimey santamum I thought mine was bad.

Also had been looking forward to it for months as my DS is 20 months and sort of gets it and I have recently had a mc and wanted something to look forward to.
Went to sisters immaculate childfree house and was then expected to keep my son from doing anything e.g. play with a tiny plastic train on wooden floor in case it scratched. He cried everytime he even saw her tetotal partner, who accused both me and my Dh of being drunk after two glasses of wine. Things went from bad to worse and needless to say on Boxing Day I had a big barney with my sister about it. My mum tried to intervene, and then got hysterical about her daughters hating each other. Then elderly relatives started crying because of all the upset and my sister stormed out without saying goodby, leaving me to take the blame for the whole of Xmas being ruined.
Sister has vowed never to spend Xmas with us again as we are all so ungrateful for all the trouble and expense she went to and my dh now does not want to see any of my family.
Stupid thing is I thought everyone would pamper me because of mc.what a joke. I feel miserable.
Next year just the three of us without fail.
I'm off to eat worms.
