Its christmas eve 2nite and for my 10month old sons first xmas me and my partner decided that we would spend it at my parents house to save us from having to save my son from the xmas tree. My parents house is 1hrs drive from here and tis now nearly 8pm. I asked my partner to tell his work that he needed to be home early because we had a long trip. He is suppose to finish work at 6ish but never does because his work asks so much of him and i have never complained and this is the one night I wanted him to be home because we never see him and now cause we are going to be so late I told him we cant go to my parents house. The worst thing is my son has nothing here now cause all his presents were picked up today by my stepdad to make my partners life easier. Now my familys christmas is runied and its like my partner doesnt care. Do i have the right to be mad?

Wake the bub up early and go. Tell him he will not get away with it this easily when your son is three. He will have a hundred questions to deal with and I am sure he would rather tell work to stick it than get the 3rd degree from your son. Keep it light or you could ruin Christmas. What he has done is just a hiccup. You wont remember it in 10 years, but if you have an argument with him you will remember it. Laugh it off.

Perhaps your partner has no control over when he came home.. he is, at least, out there trying to support his family...and doing whatever it takes to KEEP his job....
Your son is 10 months old... and hasn't a clue about what day it is.. or even the month for that matter... i wouldn't worry about the presents.. just go to yuor parents' house when the guy gets home, or in the morning, and enjoy the holiday.

Yes, you do. But don't get too upset. Thank God your baby is not old enough to understand what's going on, so really, your baby is going to be fine regadless of where he spends the night. Now, on the other hand, ask your partner to respect your plans, your parents and quality family time. Try not to go to bed angry, tomorrow is Christmas and it will be the only chance you get to make memories for the future for the three of you as a family. MERRY CHRISTMAS and God bless!

Your baby is too young to know any thing ,so do not ruin your Christmas, the baby does not know about trees,presents or what ever ,the only thing he needs is a happy mom,support your men in this, be forgiving and understanding, but let him know that you will not be so forgiving next year,make this a Christmas he will remember because your baby will not .

u have the right to be mad. but dun be too hard on him.
I'm sure he'd like things to go as planned if not for his work.
This situation is rampant where i'm from.
And I can easily tell you that no matter where or what he works if your country's working style is as such, you'll find yourself in this situation every other year.
It is much worse now, cos it's your baby's first x'mas.
Please remember that the spirit of x'mas is about love and giving- not the material things.
I wish you all the best.
