What would you do?

So i am in a dilema, i probably shouldnt be getting upset about it but anyway,

Me and OH have been together for 5 years, the first 3 Christmases we had Christmas dinner at OHs parents and just popped round to my dads and then my mums during the day.

Last year OHs parents came round here for the morning then we went to my dads for Christmas dinner and popped into my mums later on.

But this year with me being nearly 40 weeks pregnant myself and OH have decided not to spend all Christmas day driving around (OHs parents live 30 mins away and mine 25 mins, in opposite directions) So we have told family to come and see us instead. Ive had my Dad invite us for dinner, then my mum moaning that we never have Christmas dinner with her at her house, now OHs parents have said they are staying at their house for Christmas and not driving around like they did last year (she also went to BIL to see him last year). So now i feel like poo and like ive inconvenienced everyone, i just want to spend a Christmas in my own house for once and not drive around

I love Christmas and i love spending time with my family, why cant anyone take my feelings into consideration for once? im fed up of always trying to keep people happy. I dont want to be driving round at 40 weeks pregnant with 2 dogs in tow, possibly in the snow.

My dad is the only one who has agreed to come over for Christmas dinner, bless him, hes all on his own at Christmas, where my mum has her bf and my nan and grandad. Usually my brothers and their families are around which makes it easier, but neither of them are home this Christmas.

Sorry about the rant, does anyone have any ideas what i could do? Ive turned round to OH and said we will go his parents in the evening, but i know my mum will moan if we do that.

Aw hun the last thing you should be doing right now is worrying about everyone else being happy!
It's not fair to expect you to go running about the place to suit everyone else like you have done before. I think personally if I was you I would stay at home with OH and your dad and let them come visit if they want but enjoy your Christmas for you.

Stick to your guns and stay home hun, there is always next Christmas for travelling

^^^^ i agree, stick to your guns.

stay at home, they can come to you for once!

 

[amazed]

I would stay home relax and chill with Hubby and your dad it's terrible the others won't make the journey when u have every year xx

 

[PinkEmily]

Thank you, will just stay at home I think, OH seems happy with the idea. Just a shame, christmas means a lot to me and I've been looking forward to it for months. Who knows LO may come a few days early, I bet everyone would be round then! Oh and MIL phoned OH before and said she was dropping the presents off tomorrow, but apparently she text afterwards sayin she will pop round tomorrow and drop the presents off on Christmas eve so maybe we could have a nice meal then or do something special.
