I have a problem. My husband left his job about five weeks ago, for a number of reasons, so the money is really tight this year. The presents are bought but the food has yet to be. To be honest I really can't see me managing a full christmas dinner on what I earn. My parents have invited me and the kids to theirs for christmas lunch, but hubby isn't invited. There's a lot of bad feeling between them anyway, and the fact that he's quit work and dropped us in it big time hasn't helped.
Last year he stayed in bed all morning while the kids were opening their presents, and spent most of the day playing on his computer, and I'm pretty sure that this year won't be that much different. But I have a strong sentimental streak, and don't like the thought of leaving anyone alone at christmas, and even less taking the kids away with me. But given that it's because of him that we're in this mess in the first place, it's kind of hard to see how we can get round this. What would you do?
