Is it all worth it? Just got my adult kids together for a family meal, with me and their step Dad......sort of pre the one on the day one!(as they are with their father at that time) What a waste of time! Took me 3 hours in total, the eldest had already eaten, and just wanted to run off to her boyfriends house. The middle one, ate all , but never spoke once! The youngest, at least she appreciated it!! Just sounding off really....... but sometimes I wonder......... is it all worth it???
Love my family, but I'm so glad they all live 12,000 miles away and none of us 'do' Christmas. Hurrah for a day of feeling smug and relaxed out on the hills while everyone else is stressing over sprouts.
I'm personally dreading the sat after boxing day when we all go to my mums for a family get together :scared: Every single year there is a massive arguement over nothing :cry: sibling rivalry I'm afraid. My two sisters are constantly competing for attention & to be better than everyone else. They even go out & buy the most expensive outfit to look better than everyone else. For me, I wear my jeans & keep out of it. Its not nice for the kids though or for my mum who goes out of her way to make a lovely meal. Oh my, I'm getting thoughs horrible butterflies in my stomach now :cry: Glad its once a year

(when i say we/our im referring me to and my sister) no rows, just laughter and memories. work hard all year and love everyone getting together. xxx fem xxx
I think we've only had one fallout at Christmas time, between my Mum and myself, but I'd been nitpicked and goaded for weeks and it just came to a head. I was also suffering from depression looking back. Didn't last long but killed the mood somewhat. Other than that we have lovely Christmasses

thats what it is all about hun. I thought my sisters would change after my dad passed away however its just the same as ever. It just puts more strain on my mum now she's on her own. I'm going to offer to have the family over next year & warnings WILL go out. Signs on the dor will be : Menopausal women in the kitchen & mid life crisis men in the shed!!!

Either that or buy everyone a pair of dowdy pyjamas to wear and make everyone change when they come in, that way they can't complete on clothes ;)
In early years it was always my sister causing arguments at christmas, Since then hardy ever except last boxing day I had to much to drink and dek had been nitpicking and I took it the wrong way ops:
to be honest I'm really looking forward to Christmas this year, spending it at my mums with the whole bunch, usually i dread it when we are all together but because of resents bad times in my life, they have all be there for me and made me appreciate them a lot more than i used to, with out them id probably be in the rubber room right now.
Christmas to me means one thing my daughter will be back from africa ........ so looking forward to seeing her and my son , i am a non practiscing budhist so dont celebrate in the normal way but with a few give and takes...but i have 2 nieces to spoil rotten well it is chrimbo. steve xx
Only person in my family that causes arguments is my niece. This year we will be swapping pressies, with my family,on Xmas eve, then for the first time since moving in together, it will just be me, Mollman and our daughter Christmas day morning. Afterwards we are going to his Mum and Dads for dinner and to have a lovely relaxed day. Not a stroppy teenager in sight. Merry Christmas to one and all. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
well we've just got back from the big family get together I've kept my mouth :gagged: & just walked away :cry: Just as I expected though, my sister is not happy unless she upsets the apple cart :roll: Hense the early return
