Going to try to make this short.
I live in North West with my DP and DS. My sister lives with her DP in the same town as our Mum, in the South East. Our Dad lives in Cornwall.
For last 4 years, since Dad moved, the same issue.
Sister will not have Dad to stay and Mum is only invited to go over for a few hours on Christmas Day.
We end up having Dad at ours for Christmas, otherwise he'd be home alone at Christmas, and I can't see why family shouldn't be with family.
Dont get me wrong, we love having Dad with us. Just would be nice to alternate it each year....one year we have Dad, the next Mum, and vice versa for my sister.
You'd think it would be easy.
Every time I talk to my sister about it, she comes up with a million and one excuses.
Don't know what I can do apart from have a row with her, but its not like I can "force" her to do alternate Christmas's.
What do you think?
