So we are not going to have any involvement with the in laws during the month of December and actually I am feeling great about it. Maybe I should not be but to be honest I am absolutely ok with it. I am ready for our kids and husband and to have a relaxing holiday season. We are going to do try to make the weekends super packed with holiday things and hopefully it will make it a bit easier.
I am not sure if my mother in law is even going to call our kids for Christmas. I say this because when she talked to our older son Steve on the phone, she told him she will talk to him after the Christmas holiday. So first she apologized to him for not calling him more often and not checking on him and his broken hand. She also said that she would call him more often and then she said that she would call him weekly to talk to them. So far in the last 2 weeks not one call, I am not surprised this has happened before. Then after she told him she hopes he has a Merry Christmas I am not so sure she is going to call.
Now remember she decided not to come to our daughters 9th birthday party because we said that my brother and sister in laws were not allowed to come. Now before you get upset that I said that you need to understand this was only after they said they were cutting us out of their holidays. So if we are not important enough to celebrate Christmas with why bother to show up for birthdays? They only wanted to show up for appearances, so all our friends would think we had a normal extended family. We all know we don’t I did think that the Aunt and Uncles would have called to wish her a happy birthday or at least send her a card but nothing.
