CeeCee Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 No 'of course it wasn't' someone's decision, it was never mentioned, we just didn't do it, it wasn't important to us as a family! You find that difficult to understand, perhaps I am much older than you and we didn't worry about such things in those days:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiBaz Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I took my 2 teenagers their pressies today. They both stood there on the door step, thanked me for the bags of pressies. Wished me a happy xmas, we had a little chat, then I left. They're limited to what they can say, cos their mother was stood the other side of the door. We can't all make some decisions, others may get in our way :-( Happy christmas to all. I'm trying to be positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexusdee Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I feel quite sad for any parents or even grandparents who won't be with their children today. I m quite lucky the arrangement I have with my daughters dad is that she spends Xmas eve with me then he picks her up teatime & has her until the 28th. So she gets to spend Christmas day with both of us & both sets of grandparents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel's Mum Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 My ex and I have got a 50/50 custody arrangement and this has been the first Christmas Day since the split that fell on one of "my" days so its been quite exiting. However, its not been too bad in previous years because I just change Christmas Day to the day the kids arrive and hey presto Christmas with the kids!
