My father and step mother were due to come for Christmas dinner.
She had already decided she wasn't 'doing' Christmas this year as her DC were going to be doing other things. They said they would come to ours to see DC and eat after initially declining the offer.
DP's mother who my father and step mother would be meeting for the first time was here.
My father arrived alone. I had cooked enough for all of us.
He said step mother finds it too upsetting that we put our boisterous puppy in his crate when we have guests as he pees with excitement, charges around and jumps up.
This is also the reason she never comes here.
Abu or is she?
