This year for Christmas is daddy year. My children go off to their dads and his children *sigh* come to ours. Normally my ex and I try to make sure they see both sides at Christmas time, our CO says the who's ever year it is keeps the kids until the 28th day fo December then spends the new year with the other parent. We normally trade off Christmas day in the afternoon. Have been doing that for 7 years now.
DH was on the phone with both BM's yesterday making the arrangements for the kids. He's very excited to have them for two weeks...yeah, me to DH yay*eyeroll*
He's was making all these plans and just blurted out "And Christmas day when you're kids come back we can do the gifts then."
OBS- We aren't coming back Christmas day this year.
Me- *deer in headlights face* What? Your father didn't tell me any of this.
OBS- He doesn't know yet, I'll tell him tomorrow.
DH- Why wouldn't you want to come home and see your mother on Christmas?
OBS- I do, but I don't want to be around Redface Magee.
BS14- I don't either.
BS9- I'd rather say with SM then see him.
DH- looking at me now Doesn't that hurt your feelings?
Me- Not really, I understand. I can hold out having Christmas with them until they come back.
I do feel bad for DH to a certain extent but I do know why they don't want to come home if RFM is here. DH knows too and can't really argue on his behalf for what he said. He did tell me I should talk to them about not holding grudge, and I will but I also told him he needs to talk to RFM about not being a racist little asshole.
Oh what a merry Christmas it will be.
