My lovley mum died in may this year, so this will be our first christmas without her, the house looks so empty at the moment (she was xmas mad and there wouldnt even be a tree up now if my DD hadnt begged her grandad to decorate it). we had been staying with him for a while until new house is ready should be tomorrow (yeah)
New woman is 'popping in' on christmas morning as she has bought presents for everyone including my children, i have only met her twice. My sister is not happy about my dad meeting somone, and said she dosnt want to meet her yet - and he hasnt mentioned she will be comming round on xmas day. things are more complicated as we have a brother with servere learning difficulties who will be 'home' for xmas as well he has not met the other woman and i have no idea how he will react/if he will react at all.
I love my daddy and really want him to be happy and the new woman obviously makes him happy - he grins evry time she phones etc... but i think her comming into the family home on xmas morning is too much.
I have tried suguesting that maybe another day between xmas and new year would be better for us all but dad is adament that she is just popping in on the way to her familys house....
I only just about coped when she came round last week and had one of the twins on her lap reading to him.... that was what my mum did.
