I have booked for my parents to have Xmas dinner in a nice eating establishment with me my wife and 3 children. £150 a head.
My wife fell out with my mum today and she is refusing to go if my mum does.
Do I go and leave someone behind or just take the kids or write it off?

Gen I would say stick with missus.
Maybe the kids will change her mind? What was it over? |

Your missus should be more gracious. |

Do 'some magic' on them both so it somehow works out really well, while acting**y and smarmy the whole time. Then explain how you did it at the end of the show.

Sorry they got married on the 27th I thought it would be a nice gesture. My mum has cooked every year. Thought she deserved a break

To be honest Mr Brown, if you are smart enough to pick the facking lottery numbers then you should have seen this coming.

Call your wife's bluff.

By:
Or play Russian Roulette again, at £150 a head you could save quite a bit.
|

I would speak to the wife explaining lifes to short etc etc.
Ask her how she would feel making you fall out with your own mother,if she does'nt care about that................. |

Maybe stop for a game of football before lunch and tell her that hostilities can recommence at 6pm.

tell the wife that mum is writing her will and so you should play happy families.

* not serious the post above. but some sort of bribe so that wife will "put up" with mother every so often even if they really hate each other
|
|
By:
sorry she's 37
|
|
By:
It sounds a lot of money. (it is a lot of money). But no more / less than throwing some sort of party with friends family etc
|
|
By:
If shes 37 and not listening to reason there is not a lot I can say,last roll of the dice would be, how would you feel if something tragic happened to my mother and you denied me the chance of a family xmas dinner ?
but tbh she does sound like someone who would not listen to reason so I hope everything settles down and she sees sense,merry xmas. |

Ty hearts.
Posting is a kind of release. No one else to discuss it with. I've had a large glass of wine and a beer. Hopefully things will calm down by Xmas eve. I'm gonna buy a turkey tomorrow just in case. |

I'm gonna buy a turkey tomorrow just in case. I hope that is to eat. And not replace the missus. |

If it's a hotel, maybe you could get a credit note and treat your parents to a few days there?
