Write to her and tell her how your ds feels. She can't be that hard hearted, can she?

Perhaps you could limit the time you spend with her to a couple of hours at lunchtime. That way ds sees her but you get to have the afternoon to yourself.

I wrote to her last week and got a card saying that she doesn't want to play happy families but will have ds to stay with her in the new year she never sees him or rings him and now I don't want him to go We will have a lovely xmas regardless but I wish she was just nice to us sometimes

perhaps she'll come round and realise what she's missing. Hope so.

Sympathies Noddy - xmas is stressful with families. I think most of them are pretty dysfunctional!

My xmas day will be spent with DH's very old aunt who believes children should be seen and not heard and she will sit in our lounge with a face like she's sucking a lemon as my DDs charge around, completely hyper with all the excitement!
DH's dad will be sitting in the corner getting more and more pissed while his mum keeps cornering us saying "Don't give him any more to drink, he's had enough", then his dad will say "what do I have to do to get a drink around here, bloody poor service!"!! Then his mum will have a baileys and get all misty eyed about the boyfriend she let go in her teens and how she hadn't stopped loving him! I shall have to avoid catching my mum's eye, because it really is the same old thing every year and we have a good laugh about it when they've gone!

spoke to my younger brother today he still lives at home and he is as usual desperate to come to us so will have my brothers and sister and stepdad(possibly)and she can do what she says she has wanted for years and spend it alone
