 Location United Kingdom East Sussex Brighton | Anyone else having "heated discussions" with their other half on what to do for Christmas? With family at different ends of the country it's turning into a bit of a stressfest! | ||

Location United Kingdom West Midlands Stourbridge | I have it every year! In the 2 main relationships I've had I have always gone to their parents' house for Xmas dinner but my big sis has 5 kids...yes..5 and doesn't drive so I go there xmas morning to take pressies and see my other sis and Mom, then have to drive to his family and maybe drive back to my family on the evening!!! It's not that bad really, they don't live that far apart so I suppose the only thing you can do is take turns each year. x | |

 Location United Kingdom Dorset Wimborne | Don't get me started! I get ONE day off - Christmas day - and that's it. Somehow I have to juggle my parents (divorced so see them seperately) and my in-laws who live in Spain. All year round I get grief from the whole family if I even THINK about changing career, yet at Christmas everyone moans about my work and how I should change jobs so I don't work over Christmas. | ||
| I'd put something really witty and urbane here if I thought anyone read this far down | |||

 Location United Kingdom East Sussex Brighton | Glad to hear it's not just me! My parents are divorced, as are my partner's, so we've got a sort of four-way tug of war going on with emotional blackmail from all sides. Nightmare! |

Good idea and one I've certainly considered. "I can't travel with the baby, Mum, you'll all have to come here!" It would prove a damn sight easier if my other half wasn't female though! |
