Guilt...

Getting your own way after a hissy-fit never feels as good as you think it will...

We're staying home for Christmas. Inlaws wanted us to go to Guernsey with them, but I couldn't imagine anything worse. I've spent Christmas with them before and holidays with them before - MiL is ok, but FiL complains about *everything* and it's embarassing. Or insulting, when he complains about Neal's cooking. Also I know damn well what will happen - I'd spend Christmas Eve and Night stuck in the room while they're in the bar, as I'd never, ever leave Aedan alone. And if I'm honest, it's just not what I want for his first Christmas.

(Oh and while I'm bitching - that dog FiL got? He gave her away because she wasn't obedient... but he never trained her! Or walked her...)

Unfortunately I may not have made my point in the most mature way possible. We had several fairly epic arguements about this, followed by an extended period of not mentioning Christmas at all. I only found out yesterday that we are staying home. And now I feel bad... I still don't want to go, but Neal did.

What a mess. Now I have to figure out how to make it up to him...

Meh, at least I got it off my chest...
