Hi,
I have recently found out we are expecting our second baby next year, we are delighted and very excited . I have a bit of a problem both of us don't really get on very will with the in-laws. We had a falling out after our first baby was born and it is a very strained relationship since that time. We are not fighting or anything but we have very little to do with each other - the next time we will all meet is Christmas.
I am wondering about the Christening, I am concerned about it as the last time it ended in a row with MIL, DH & SIL. I was gone home at this stage thank god but I was very upset that the problems they had with each other could not have been left until another day!! So this time I am thinking of having just immediate family from both sides. I'm thinking grandparents, sisters and brothers and their partners & not having anyone else.The last christening we had 50+.
I am afraid I will upset people by doing this but it is obvious we are not as close as we once were and I'm trying to get out of it as handy as I can this time seeing as the last one ended up desperate!! DH has an aunt, uncle,their 2 sons and partners who go to all occasions in the family and I am afraid I will be upsetting them but I really want it low key. what would you do - any advice??
Thanks
