Going to pils for Christmas and they are painfully ott when it comes to babies. I'm 14wks pregnant, everyone knows ( thanks to my own over excited mother) and the level of fuss will be horrendous. We are 'expected' to arrive at 12am, after a morning of three sets of visitors to our house. Nieces, nephews, dhs family. Lunch which is the last thing I want due to bad morning sickness. Then present opening which is an unorganised affair of fil pulling out from under the tree and chucking at whoever it's for. Hence lost bits of toys, instructions, tears and child fighting. Pil seem to think this is just all part of the fun
. We are then expected to stay for their friends to come over at 7pm for tea by which point ds is past himself, dh is asleep and I will be feeling like death.
They didn't expect this pregnancy as we learnt to keep them out of things to avoid pushy opinions. I've been very sick and am still extremely tired and its just too much.
I'm not looking forward to a house full of noisy kids, noisy adults, smelly food, immense amounts of fuss and no room to escape to
