Sounds like the holidays have been interesting for everyone. We were at my older sisters. It was a shitshow, I dont think I could do it again, much less convince MH. Her kids are 7,9, 10 and spoiled as hell. The 9 yearold can get it together but the other two have adhd. All they do is fight and try and upset each other. It was pure chaos.
I just felt terrible being around them, and then like a jerk because I don't like them and doubt the oldest and youngest will be nice people. I have some hope for the middle child. My Dad also stayed there but didn't get in until xmas eve. Because we had the guest room he was taking the oldest kids since he has a large bed. My nephew pitched a fit all day, even in church about how grandpa was a jerk for taking his room. And after all this nonsense they still gave him an xbox!
And my sister didn't tell us what their traditions were and we were there awkwardly on Christmas morning watching her kids rip open presents in under 10 minutes, complain about what they didn't get, and then get annoyed with my kids for not opening all their stuff right away. Instead, they opened one at a time and played with the toy. I know this will change when they get older... My 3 yearold had woken up first and went downstairs and the others started yelling at her that she broke the rule. She was waiting on the couch, touched nothing and no one told us that all the kids had to go down together.
And then the 7 yearold kept crying when one of mine tried to touch any of her toys. Am I being too harsh, but I thought by at least 7 the kid would be able to share or at least not have a temper tantrum every 5 minutes.
Sorry for the long rant but I am still just shocked about how terrible the kids were. They are bad everytime we see them but seeing it at Christmas with no consequences and a ton of expensive gifts just got to me for some reason.

Oh damn yellowcat that sounds awful. And those kids sound like brats. I’m sorry you guys had to deal with that. I’m still battling this cold for the last 2.5wks. I was feeling a bit better and then bam! N sneezed in my face and it landed in my mouth and eye, so game over. I’m also starting night time sleep training again bc I’m done. Tonight is night one of not sleeping in bed with Him. So I’ll be on the floor the next few days. I’m determined to stick to it and do the schedule the dr gave. Three nights, next. One of my bffs came over today and hung out all afternoon. It was so nice even tho N was being ... N. I feel badly because she do desperately wants kids but her bf is so not in a place to even get engaged so it’s going to be awhile but she loves kids so it was nice to have someone that doesn’t get annoyed at Ns antics, but I feel bad having a kid around when she’s talking about their latest fight re engagement and marriage. Oh well.

Damn yellowcat, that sounds terrible. I’m sorry. We have some cousins too who are little shits so I dread it too sometimes. How is sleep training going addymac? I hope some progress. Sleep has gone to total shit here and it feels impossible to tackle right now. I hope you feel better. We were around fucking sick people of course so D1 started again with something so I’m sure M is on the horizon. I wish they could be healthy more than a week at a time all winter😭

Trying to catch up here again. DH has been off for 2 weeks so we've been trying to spend more together and unplugged. We had a pretty low key Christmas except that DS1 has OME and his hearing has been severely impaired. We have an ENT appt on the 7th.
We took the kids on the Polar Express and DH and I went to see the Nutcracker and had dinner as our Christmas gift to each other.
Other than that, DH goes back to work tomorrow and I'm prepping for a new class I'm teaching this semester. House closing was delayed so that's something else we'll be tackling in the new year.
