My parents arrived last night and will be around until Boxing Day evening but they are staying with my mil.
It’s the first Xmas with us since we had kids so they aren’t interested in anything but grandkids which is fine.
Need to balance the wife’s ocd tidiness and my mums urge to constantly bring tat over for the kids. 8 people here on Xmas day and then the wife’s side come over on the 27th. I “might” need to go into work on the morning of the 27th for a couple of hours so that’s a nice chance to get away if it’s all too much by then.
Should be painless compared to some others but my wife’s not too keen on my brother so on Xmas day there is always some potential for a blow up between them!
