A struggling mum with a six-month-old baby is refusing to cook Christmas dinner for her 'moody' in-laws after they said they were 'too old' to do it. The woman explained that she made Christmas dinner for her husband's family last year whilst pregnant, but cannot manage this year due to having a young child, extra guests to provide for and being short on cash.
As a compromise, she asked if her guests could bring a dish each or chip in for a takeaway - but they shot down both ideas, the Liverpool Echo reports. Taking to Mumsnet's popular Am I Being Unreasonable? (AIBU) forum, the mum asked others for advice over the festive dilemma.. In a post titled 'To not host Christmas', she explained: "Husband and I take it in turns to spend Christmas Day with one side of the family and Boxing Day with the other, this year its his family's turn to be with us on Boxing Day.
"Last year when I was pregnant I hosted and cooked for his whole family - days and days of prep and cost hundreds (as it does if you're needing to cook for 6+ who like a drink). They were very grateful as I think they could tell how much effort I'd put in.
"This year they have assumed I'm cooking Christmas dinner for them all over again on Boxing Day despite having what will be a six month old, barely any money due to maternity leave and with them bringing over three extra people.
"Husband and I set them straight but they said: 'well we have no choice because you can't come to us as you're allergic to dogs.' I said to in laws I really don't mind having them over but it's just too much money and time with a little one, so if everyone could bring a bottle and a dish, or we could all put in money for a takeaway and they bring a drink each.
