I know New Year's Eve is way off but I don't know what to do. Our most immediate family is sister in law and W's aunt. They don't want to spend the night at OM's place. We were intending to spend it either at sister's or mine. Now I hear that W wants to be with us. Her birthday is the next day. ( 1 January). I can't believe on such emotional days she isn't going to be with OM. My initial response to Sister and Aunt was no, that I wasn't going to be a substitute for OM on family occasions. Sister tried to say that plenty of separated people meet up for days like these. We've agreed to talk about at a later date. Haven't contacted W about it but I'm sure my opinion will get back to her. She'll know her family spent the afternoon having a great time with S. I sent videos and photos to her dad who lives far away and likes to hear about grandson.
