I sent the early hours last pretending not to hear my H on the phone to the other woman (he left us a month ago today). He was staying over as requested by our eldest who wanted him here first thing for presents. 4 hours sleep, up at 5am. My only gift was a pair of £1 magic gloves from the school Christmas shop from our 7 year old, which I'm although I'm very grateful for, I think it's a bit shit all the kids presents still said mummy and daddy even though it was all me, he still had presents from them and just no thought to me. He left at 9am and the day's been a bit weird and shit following that. I feel like everyone is busy together and we're just a discarded little lot. Tomorrow the kids go to stay and with him at his mother's, so 100% the tree will be ripped down at that point here. Christmas can just piss off this year.

Disappointing here too. My six year old is going through a massive attitude problem and has made me cry twice today. Then on dog walk with my husband she stropped off so he couldn't find her, he was out panicking and looking for her and she walked herself home!! He was actually crying with the stress. Christ alive. So disappointing, look forward to this day all year and today just hasn't delivered. Sob.

Tartpop · 25/12/2018 17:12

I've been up since 4. Grumpy as hell because of it which only made everyone else grumpy.

Then my GHDs decided to not work. That nearly sent me over the edge. I might have had a little tired cry at that point.

Squidysmum · 25/12/2018 17:20

Sad day here too. OH seems to be ghosting me and no present. Waiting to see if he kicks off tonight. Sorry for others also having a little cry.

Wonkysack · 25/12/2018 17:22

Single parent, not seen another adult. Spent most of day alone.
First year NC with family, lonely and tired.
Looking forward to bed.

OoohAyyye · 25/12/2018 17:24

Rubbish day here too.

Poor 2yo is unwell and has slept most of the day. My 3yo is happy with gifts but she misses her sister joining in the fun.

DH is barely speaking to me. We're not arguing. Just, not really getting on amazingly either which is disappointing.

And lastly I lost my son in the second trimester a few months ago. I can't help but think how he should be with me now, in a little elf suit or something cute like a sleeveless jumper. Most days I'm fine but I guess it's always the "merriest" days that make you long for passed loved ones even more.

to everyone. I'm looking forward to the new year.

abbsisspartacus · 25/12/2018 17:24

Awful day no real decorations sore butt from dodgy tum my so called partner legged it because his "nerves were playing up" I've not heard from him since my son's were due to go to there dad's he asked to get them at four and return them at six he showed up late to so what the fuck is the point and he hasn't got a gift for the boys to give me I'm so glad I just bought him flying saucers

ENormaSnob · 25/12/2018 17:26

I have a uti and am working tomorrow.

5 year old is ill but is just the sweetest little boy ever and brave facing it

My kebab just arrived sans chilli sauce so am fucked off and hungry now. By the time they redeliver the rest will be cold.

But, I have amazing family, good friends, lovely animals and I job I like a lot. So on the grand scheme of things im good.

truthtopower · 25/12/2018 17:29

get off as a LP I now put away little treats through the year for myself, nice toiletries and bits of make up, wrap them and put them in a box so I have something to open. Otherwise I wouldn't get anything and it's a bit sad. Have you seen the Christmas board under fun and games? Good place to find low cost treats.

youarenotkiddingme · 25/12/2018 17:31

Been to my parents. Day itself not bad but soooooo difficult being in my sisters company as she's just so rude and basically shushes my nephew every time he engages with me or takes him away if we are laughing together.
Whilst also telling everyone every 5 minutes how he's the nicest, kindest most appreciative child ever.

Shame really as he's a very bright and funny 7yo. But he's not the messiah and he's being alienated from us all and not allowed to shine.

Meanwhile she deliberately uses language with my ds who's 14yo that he doesn't get and which confuses him and demonises him when he responds differently to how she wants. He's autistic!

I missed having my brother there who is much better at sorting her out than I am!!!

Comeymemo · 25/12/2018 17:32

My mum is dying and I’m 8,000 miles away. About to fly in two days’ time but not sure she will still be around. I tried to FaceTime yesterday but she didn’t recognise me.

The whole family including me has been sick like hell in the run up to Xmas, kids and DH still have fever, everyone is grumpy/flu-ey/tired and sad.

Plus other work shit I don’t even want to think about.

Sympathies to all those with shite Xmases. 🌷

BooHasAPressieForYou · 25/12/2018 17:34

I'm currently upstairs after telling DH to go fuck himself. He has been no help whatsoever the last few weeks. I have bought every single item, wrapped all the gifts. I've been in agony with PCOS for two days but was up cooking at 6am yesterday. He sat up last night until 2am, keeping me awake getting drunk, DS woke at 2.30am (He has brittle asthma) and needed looking after until nearly 4am. Then DH woke us up at 5am as he wrongly thought it was 7am and he wanted clothes.
I literally hate him. He is bone idle. The spuds went like mush, we have a tiny oven and his answer was to ruin them further with more oil.
I've not had dinner, and I really can't be bothered. None of his sister's spoke to me or wished me happy Christmas. And after 20 years together, for Christmas he got me (as the DCs moaned) a chocolate orange (never liked these) and a perfume set which I can't use as I can't use body lotions due to eczema.
I'm actually genuinely considering if I want another year with him. He's a twat.

buckingfrolicks · 25/12/2018 17:37

The only person I have spoken to today is the chap in M&S extra at the motorway services when I decided to fuck it and go out for a bottle of wine. I don't drink

KitKat1985 · 25/12/2018 17:39

Down with D&V here (emphasis on the D) which was caught from DD2 who had it earlier in the week. So shit Christmas literally and metaphorically. Had a lovely dinner booked at the pub for today (booked and been looking forward to since late October) with my family which also cost me quite a lot, and I've had to miss it and wave DH and the kids off and then sit in the house alone feeling ill and upset.

Oysterbabe · 25/12/2018 17:41

I've had a pretty shite day. My 1 year old has hand, foot and mouth. He screamed all night last night and all day today. I'm exhausted and so is he but he won't sleep. His mouth is hurting him too much to feed.

ENormaSnob · 25/12/2018 17:45

Mine is so trivial compared to others.

Am so sorry.

I hope 2019 is better.

UhYeahISureHopeItDoes · 25/12/2018 18:01

I wouldn't say shit but the food has been crap. I didn't bother with loads of trimmings or 'snacky food' to graze on and I got tired when I put the turkey in so we ended up with burnt aunt Bessie Yorkshire's and dry aunt Bessie roasties because I just couldn't be arsed at all. Been sweating and stressed for no reason. I should have just done a normal Sunday roast

Next year I'm spending a £20 on snacky food and booking Christmas dinner in a pub.

ItWentDownMyHeartHole · 25/12/2018 18:02

Getoffthetable your ex husband is a turd. Not sorting you a gift is such poor form. What a miserable git. I hope you can relax a bit tomorrow. All the best xx

AKissWithAFist · 25/12/2018 18:04

My dog ate our cheese board 😣😭

Ironytheoppositeofwrinkly · 25/12/2018 18:04

I've had a shit Christmas because I found out on Sunday that my baby has died and I've gotta go for induction tomorrow :(

Goldenphoenix · 25/12/2018 18:24

So sorry for everyone, puts my crap Christmas day into perspective reading what you are going through.

Sending love @Ironytheoppositeofwrinkly how terribly sad xx

princesspuds2004 · 25/12/2018 18:30

I've been stuck in hospital for nearly 3 weeks after dd was rushed in via emergency ambulance and underwent brain surgery, she's slept most of the day and barely eaten and my Christmas dinner was sushi from Tesco.

Unescorted · 25/12/2018 18:35

irony that is so sad. I hope you have loads of to support around you and you are being looked after.
