[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 569489, member: 14557"] I have my hands on my ears, eyes firmly closed and I'm singing laa-laa-laa on the top of my lungs and trying to pretend I don't notice any warning signs that things could get avry during the Christmas. No use to worry beforehand, I can feel bad afterwards if needed and you know, you never know if it goes just fine :winking: Okay, I can rationalise that while difficult child is having hard time, he has also matured and seems to deal with things and be behaviourally better than could be expected, so it may continue and that is there I put my hope. But for several reasons (many related to his sport and his big disappointments on that lately) this will be very, very difficult Christmas for him. And it doesn't help that easy child is over the moon from joy because of the sport in the same time either. That could cause some friction between the two. And difficult child and husband being in odds for half a year now isn't helping. And to be honest I'm not even totally confident that husband will not be rubbing easy child's success to difficult child's face and admonishing difficult child of his failures again. And then there is of course mother in law. Oh, and also difficult child's girlfriend will be with us couple of days and she seems to have a problem with our ethnic background and us speaking our first language. All this could be recipe to total catastrophe. But nothing I can really do, hand on the ears, eyes shut and laa-laa-laa. That way I can at least enjoy the days before the Christmas. [/QUOTE]
