[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 744778, member: 4152"] Spreading the holiday out might have its advantages. Anyway, I have been posting a lot here for maybe a month. So much of my stuff is already here!!!! Difficult Child daughter was sarcastic so for the first time we had her in a hotel at night for her Xmas visit. She lives in another city (same state). Hallelujah...best result in thirty years. A miracle. Calmer. Hardly any sarcasm. Much better. Nice holiday visit with her. Amazing. There was one bad incident..a very different one (see below). on the other hand, I’ve held in for a month some extreme craziness with my son’s in law family. I believe I should of figured out a way to express what was bothering me the most (and leave the rest quiet) and spoke to him long ago gently. Instead, it cane out badly around the 23rd and more on the 24th and then my husband said more and then our daughter behind our back spilled the beans and said even more. Holy cow! It’s world war three. Son went ballistic after our daughter called and spilled our private conversation. Our son and his family almost didn’t come for Christmas. But, they came and thank goodness it went well. But wife is pissed and there is some tension. Swot and copa warned me. I’m concerned. I feel like a ding bat. I made a traditional breakfast and we opened presents. Later, I made Italian food. Had friend over. Plus daughter was with us. Next year, we plan on traveling and avoiding much holiday crxp. Coming back on the 23rd late. Having Difficult Child coming in 24th. This is our tentative plans. [/QUOTE]
