Thanks JAG, and yes I need to be careful re the move.
W asked about xmas day today and what shld we do. We usually have my parents over xmas eve, spend xmas do just me, W n kids, boxing day MIL.
I asked W had she thought about what she wanted. She said not. I said it wld be nice if we could still spend the day together with the kids. W avoided the comment and she then said it will be weird on boxing day at MIL. I said I didn't think I wld be there this year. She asked why and I said I didn't think MIL wld invite me anyhow. Why wld W still think I wld go to MIL still? Is it me..shld I be expeced to go? I made a joke that the one good thing about all this is I get out of the boxing day meal at MIL. She laughed and said she wishes she had an excuse.
She then confirmed that eldest S(my stepson) will be staying here more than Ws place when home from college. She said he was torn because he felt like he shld be with W. But that his home life, friends etc are here. She looked v down about it.
How r u LBSs planning xmas period? Should I just invite her n kids here? Esp seeing kids r looking more and more likely to be here anyway!
