Here we are again, that time of year when Christmas plans are made.
For the last 7 years we’ve had to plan Christmas around husband’s children, not entirely unreasonable he wants to spend some time with them over Christmas but my family live 400 miles away and with the obligatory MIL Boxing Day my family were always pushed into the Twixmas period.
His children are now adults, but I know he’ll want the same plan as usual. I find it hellish! I don’t enjoy the company of his youngest child and when we move onto the obligatory Boxing Day hell both ‘children’ play up into their grandmothers house to an embarrassing degree.
I live separate to DH due mostly to his younger child and her bad behaviour (long story for another thread), and I’d much rather be alone than spend time with her (I haven’t seen her since last Christmas), but that means not seeing DH.
What would be your suggestions?
