Don't get me wrong, I like them and the kids but ever since my wife's sister and hubby had kids, no one does anything anymore. All we do is watch them open gifts, play and play with them (lego's, cars, etc.) for 8+ hours!!!!
There are no walks, no going out, no movies, no adult based games, no doing things as we all did before the kids and I really enjoyed doing things, but now its just very boring to me. I can only sit there so long and do things with the kids.....only so long.....
My wife's parents are content just doing nothing and playing with the kids the entire time. Wow, how exciting and engaging. They only live a 10 minute drive away.
My wife's sister, kids and hubbs live a 5 minute walk away.
See, my wife and I don't have kids yet or may never have kids. So is that why I find this situation very boring???
I remember Christmas with my parents and relatives. Each age group of people did things together. Some watched movies, some went out, some just chatted, some played with kids, etc.
I need advice besides suck it up, thx.;)
And here the kicker, for some reason, their kids adore me, want to play with me and its their main highlight of Christmas to see and be with me. Why? Don't they have friends and what about their dad?
And my wifee is already nagging me to get ready, do this and that, get dressed up (can't be casually dressed for some reason), etc, etc, etc. Why can't Christmas be about relaxing, and not getting all worked up?
