My sisteri invited us round theirs over Christmas and wanted us to travel up and bring my 80 yr old mother with us.
They live in another part of the country.
I live a mile or so from my mother.
I said early on that I didn't think it was a good idea this year and that we would be spending it in our own home and having ourmother round on Christmas day so she is not on her own.
One of my concerns is my niece is a at uniand nephew still at school.
I'm my mother (80s) main support bubble so if she were to get something I would be the one picking up the pieces.
My sisterI is a fantastic host but i jjnow they hate the cold so there will be ittle to no ventilation on the day and I get the general impression they won't follow the rules..
Even if they did, it's my call and this year of all years, people shouldn't have to rxplain their reasons to people.
She's hardly spoken to me since.
Has anybody else ended up upsetting family over Christmas arrangements?
