Just dropped kids off at my inlaws, they are sleeping over there tonight because they have no school tomorrow and my W is at a wedding rehearsal dinner and sleeping there as well. MIL didn't say anything to me but hello, normal stuff. She will be dropping the kids off after im done work. Not sure if I should ask her anything, like so how are you handling all this? I would really like to know what she thinks of it all. But DB rules are don't get them involved.
Kids were not happy to leave I had to literally drag them out to the car. they were crying. I felt so bad, I could of took the day off work but didn't even have time to think of that as this was planned months ago.
My oldest S6 asked me yesterday if divorce meant not married anymore, there was news on the radio of celebrities that were now divorced. I was going to tell my W about this but I thought it was a bad idea. Then today he asked me if I was going to spend Christmas with him at grandmas and grandpas. I was shocked and didn't know what to say so I just said how do you know that is where Christmas is going to be? he said that is where we go every year, I said no some yeas when you were younger we didn't.
Then I changed the subject. I don't even know if I am invited or what is happening for Christmas. I never liked the idea of having Christmas at the inlaws, it doesn't allow of us as a family to create our own traditions, to have that close time together, for me to feel at home to relax and be myself. I felt like I was my W brother with her parents in charge and us following the rules of their house.
I don't know why we couldn't just do our own thing then later go visit them in the afternoon. Just to have time as our own little family the four of us.
