gonna be a LOOONG one this week without the public holiday as well.
oh dear god yes
Quick update on the Christmas saga. Mrs B spoke to my mother in law who was like "Of course we dont have to go to the extended family thing if you dont want to". And Mrs B now sees the light of how dumber idea it was in the first place. More than a little annoyed that it speaking to her mum rather than listening to her husband to see that, but whatever. Saves a fight, 1k and promises to be a more chill Christmas.
they are typically pretty good. I think the mrs volunteered us to go over this year... I said thats fine but next year we're staying put.
yeeeeeep thats the issue.
I mean, for me the absolute highlight of the trip is gonna be regretting sharing a seat with tinyest. He was a lot smaller when I booked it and I decided "Screw it, its cheaper he can just sit on my lap". Betting im gonna be kicked from here to there.
its more a money thing for me. I spending all this money to go spend christmas with them and they decide "actually, we might not even do christmas here" is a but sucky.
Sorry I probably wasnt clear. Grandparents have tons of space for us. but the extended family doesnt have space, and their place is 2 hours away. All their kids/grandkids and stuff are coming and they get first dibs apparently. Sort of makes sense I guess, they'd be... tinyest's second cousins I think?
Oh she wants to! and she wants to take tinyest which I squarely put my foot down on. Too much for him. and Frankly, I'm entitled to enjoy Christmas too!
Yeah tried that, went down like a lead balloon. Shes like "Well, if they want to go you can just stay at their place". I said "Nup. if they want to go I'm staying home. We can fly over when its cheaper".
does this mean your coming back too?
