No Christmas dinner

[thelifeoofme]

IM NOT COOKING Christmas dinner. I have twins & a 6 year old. There's no way im doing it. I've bought party food, pizzas, pigs in blankets, picky bits & I'll lay a spread on the table. We don't have a dining table either so it'll be a pick n mix - I've been called all sorts for this but I am SICK of spending Christmas Day in the kitchen when I should be with those kids.

Am I wrong or right? An awful mother?

Am I depriving my children of a Christmas dinner & that's whole dinner experience?

I think what you served for Christmas dinner is perfect! Sounds lovely to me. If I was served it, I'd be happy ☺️

Maybe you're putting too much pressure on yourself by making everything by scratch. So if the kids don't like turkey do a chicken instead. Buy some roast potatoes, already prepped veg and ready made stuffing. Bung it in the oven. It doesn't have to be complicated if you don't want all the extra sides and if your kids wouldn't eat them it would be a waste anyway. Do whatever makes you happy.
