Awww, thanks for your posts both. I guess it is just a case of putting things in order ad taking a step back, but it's so hard for me to let go pof the reigns, I'm independant and I do find it hard asking people for help or relying on others.
My dad has been down to visit my grandad, he travelled down last week, but sadly, my uncles haven't yet, one will I am sure, but the other is a selfish so-and-so and no doubt the next time I see him will be someone's funeral, if he deigns to turn up of course :-P
My sis-in-law is an endless cause of problems, and despite my trying to help her over the years, as you point out, my prioties have changed now. I don't want to fall out with my fella, but I guess if I treat this Xmas as a last chance saloon as far as she is concerned he is pre-warned for next year, because I have vowed that she won't be behaving in her normal way around the baby and if she doesn't get her act together that I am well within my rights to say no next year.
I know it seems trivial to what some people go through at Christmas, and I rarely get ruffled by things but everything seems to be happening at once at the moment!
Thanks again peeps xx
