christmas, pleasing everyone

[conway]

We plan to spend christmas with my mum and and our two children as my husband family are away.
However my mum has just announced that it would be better if we go to them as my dad is not in the best health. (eye problems amomg other things)
My husband is making a big fuss as would prefer them to come to us has planned and the kids are copying.
As it is only 7 miles away I think he is been unreasonable.
I suggested that we could have a nice meal here with his family on New Years day but he is not happy as he things he will have a big hangover then.

You will have to sort it out with your husband but it seems perfectly sensible to relocate to your mum's if your dad is not well.

The benefit of going to your mum's is you get to stay for exactly as long (or short ) a time as you want.

What exactly is his objection? Does he drink a lot and is worried he will have to limit his drinking at your mum's ?

Would it be possible to fetch your Mum & Dad or is your Dad too ill for that?

mum and dad like a drink or two and I will drive so no problems there.

Also meant to say I can see your husbands point of view in that if he is looking forward to being at home rather than visiting iyswim.

But if your dad is too ill to travel, then he is.
