Dreading Xmas; anyone else feeling the same...?

[K8eee]

I'm 6 and a half month pregnant, have zero tolerance with people at the moment and have done for a couple of weeks so far now. I'm dreading Xmas. I know that sounds awful but we have a shed load of travelling to do over Christmas and new year and all I want is to be able to know I'll have a decent nights sleep in my own bed miserable aren't i in laws have also put dibs in on being with us for Xmas next year too (dc #1 will be 9 months) which will be nice on the child side of things but we hardly get entertained when dh and I go to there house, so why should we entertain them?! Maybe I'm being miserable because of my hormones but I just want to stay at home over Christmas, in my pjs and veg

I wouldn't say I'm dreading it, but for the first time ever I'm not really looking forward to it, mainly because I just want the time to pass as quickly as possible and get me to my baby's birth (am 33 weeks)

Do you really have to do all this travelling? Can't you tell people you don't feel up to it? I had hyperemesis for the first 5 months and had to cancel everything including holidays, weddings, etc - being pregnant is the ultimate get out clause :)

I just want to get to Xmas day. I am 25 weeks with no 3 my other two are 5 and 3, and what with nursery and school and my parents visiting this week and stepson (18) coming for the weekend, I have no time for cleaning let alone cooking! At least they are all gone by the 23rd and I have refused to go anywhere. my sister and her family are coming on Xmas day for a few nights which is nice as they muck in and cook and clean. I'm tired grumpy and feeling very un festive at the moment. Bah bloody humbug! :)

Glad i'm not the only one. I'm 23 weeks with dc3 and can't be bothered. All the school/nursery build up is exhausting. I'm excited for my dc but for me, just looking forward to slobbing, eating lots of chocolate etc.

I miss wine as well!

A glass of wine would definitely go down well at the moment! Or a large baileys (totally gutted in pregnant over Xmas, but I am grateful I'm having a baby too! )

Unfortunately no we can't get out of it dh grandad has a birthday party Sunday in East Anglia which is a good 160 miles away id say, tomorrow we've got to travel 200 odd miles to see dss in his Xmas school play and stay at a friends house (who live like students and are older than me!!!) then to my parents from east Anglia which is 180 odd miles, then back up to pick dss to take him to east Anglia again. Basically 2 weeks away from home is going to kill me. Ok yeah dreading is a bit much, I'm not looking forward to it at all.

The other thing too is on Boxing Day at my parents were having a family get together, so everyone will be pissed or half cut anyway, apart from me and 2 kids. Not going to be fun, especially when my mum when she's pissed really grinds on me
