Oh dear! I've chased hubby away!

[Yulephemia]

DH was happily watching sport on the telly when DD and I came back from his mother's and I started moaning about:
His mother;
DD not eating properly;
Not wanting tea, owing to comfort-eating shit at MIL's all day;
Morrisons - see thread in Chat

He's put the TV off, sworn, and gone off to the other room.

I need to cheer up: I have the day to myself tomorrow - what should I do?

Go apologise for being a miserable mare !

First off, don't worry. It'll pass. I suppose you could say 'sorry' - I guess DH didn't want to hear negative things, especially as this time of year, about his Mum. And the rubbish food - if it's an occasional thing - won't hurt your DD.
Your DD has a grandparent, that's something - my DC don't and even though they ate over sweet, over fatty food at DH's Mum's place, I'd give anything to have one or more of their grandparents around for them, for me (to help ease the occasional strains of bringing up 3 kids) and just, well, just because it's nice to have an older generation around.
But, above all, enjoy tomorrow.

Thanks for the kind words, Cerys. Part of the problem is DH can't stand his mother, but it's important to me for DD to have a relationship with her so I do the visiting.
I apologised to DH and he came back.
2010 was a fecker of a year; here's hoping for a better 2011!

How come you had to go to his parents and he got to watch telly?

Good luck, Yulephemia.

My 2010 was pretty awful and I, too, am hoping for a good one next year.

Take care.

Madmouse, he can't stand his mother. His dad died just before DD was born. I do the visiting, but he has to put up with my bitching when I get home!
I don't know how to solve this one: I've made a rod for my back, but if I left it to DH, DD would have NO relationship with her Grandma. As it is, MIL is not a good influence on DD, so I'm a bit lost as to how to handle it.
It would be cruel to DD and MIL to cease contact, but I hate going there and come back miserable. If I made DH go, he'd be even more miserable as he has decades of backstory with her!
Families, eh?!
