Parents want to go away for Christmas, and they want all the family with them, which includes my ex!

[Pinkchampagne]

They want to go abroad because staying at home will be too upsetting without Nan, which I can totally understand as Christmas Eve has always been Nan's day, for as long as I can remember, and we will all be feeling very sad without her this year.
They feel that it would be more bearable if we all go away for Christmas, and they have talked to my ex husband about possibly going to Florida. (he told me about this when he phoned to speak to boys on Mon night)
They haven't said anything to me yet, but they apparantly want all the family there, and dad is going to call one of his family meetings about this!

I feel it would be good to get away this year, and Christmas is a time where you should be with your family, so I should make the effort, but I just don't know if I could grit my teeth and get through it.

I wouldn't want the boys away from their dad at Christmas time either, and he would obviously want to see them, so can kind of understand him being included in a way, but it would feel wrong to go away with him & could give him & my family false hope.

What do I do about this one?

Or very little, anyway. Nevermind, take the readymeal and run!

How did the injection go? Also How is DS1 - re:belly?

Might have to eat it tomorrow, as I have a stir fry that is beginning to grow extra bits, which needs eating first!!

Didn't get home from school quick enough to get down to surgery in time, Bubble!
DS2 was quite put out that he wasn't having his "jection"!

DS1 seemed fine after school, so the tummy ache may have been a reaction to hunger, after not touching the curry they had for school dinner!

Good!

Just don't give him the stirfry.

Oh no - he wouldn't touch stir fry! They are with their dad tonight anyway, so I hope he doesn't throw up! Ex H is ultra squemish, and can't deal with things like that!

About time he did then .

DD has only really thrown up once in her life (lucky for me, as I can't handle sick) and it was all over my exh (many years ago, when we were still married). Luckily exh was great about it and cleared up. Both of them had to get in the bath (not together). Bless!

Only sick once? Lucky you! Mine come down with a bug at least once a year, and aren't good at getting to an appropriate place to be sick either!
I am not the greatest with vomit, but haven't had much choice but to deal with it, as ex H would start heaving at the very sight of sick.

Well, PC I'm sure he's going to get what's coming to him in due course, hey ho. This "buying you a ready meal" thing is the most surreal thing I've heard so far in an utterly surreal thread. I mean WTF is it meant to mean? Beeeee-zarre, in that way that only your family and co-dependents can be.

I have no idea what it is about, tribpot, but I expect it may be a bit of a peace offering after overstepping the mark on Sunday. I don't know though, I have no idea of what goes on in his head!

Enjoy the fish. Got to go home now, family are getting fed up with me staying late at work to chat on MN .
