My mum sister and gran want to see DS open his pressies on xmas morning (his first xmas will be nearly 11mo) i want to see DN open hers i've never missed an xmas morning with her even getting up at 6am one year to jump in the car so i can be there. So I'd like them to come to us on xmas morning open the kids pressies together then they go do there own things they have planned later.
DP thinks it's unfair on his family BUT his parents are seperated both have partners and 12yr olds so will be doing the morning present opening at home and wouldn't come anyway. They could come as well as my family if they wanted but they don't. DS and I are extremely close to my family see at least one of them daily DP has seen his dad 3 times in 9mo (he lives a 10 min drive away) and only see's his mum when she comes to collect DS every fortnight. For him seeing family on xmas is something you have to do because it's your family for me its something i want to do because i love them all and want to share it with them.
I know IABU but at the same time it's so important to me. I've told DP's parents that we have an open door policy on xmas we're not going out (due to last years 4 houses in 8 hours fiasco nto being fair on DS and we don't have a car) but they can come to us to see DS whenever they want.
Should i just give up this idea?
