New Year is coming soon . Who are you celebrating it with? With your family or in a noisy company? Or maybe together? Or alone? Or what other options?

It's simple for me. The last 5 years have been boring and monotonous. At home with my husband, mother-in-law and children. There are three of them - 10 years old, 5 years old and 1.5 years old.

Previously, young people called us, but all the children are small. We are just over 30. My first child, nothusband . We've been married for 6 years. Everything is the same every year.

Of course, gifts for the children, for each other. Strictly at 8:00 pm at the table. That's what my beloved mother-in-law tells us. She's always in a hurry. She doesn't live with us, she comes from another city.

At 21:00 everyone had eaten their fill, and by 23:00 they had slowly fallen asleep. At 23:45 the alarm went off. We celebrated the New Year, watched TV for an hour, and went to bed.

I'm already tired of celebrating like this. I would invite the youth myself. But some of them have had children, very small, they won't come. Some are grieving or going away for the holidays.

In general, the option with the mother-in-law is only to celebrate the New Year. We are not considering a cafe. The husband is against it. Pandemic and finances. test-antibiotic.com The mother-in-law is a single woman. She is 52 years old.

I have friends , sisters, brothers. MyMom , everyone was sitting at the table. Mom asked about the New Year, where we would celebrate it. I answered that I didn’t know. My mother-in-law said: “Actually, the New Year is a family holiday.”

My mother and stepfather live in the village. New Year is always together. Although my mother has me andsister . She is notmarried , so she celebrates the New Year with her friends. And her stepfather has three children - two married sons anddaughter not married . But no one goes to them for thisholiday . They come after the first of January to congratulate.

And so this year I have some kind of a quirk. I don't want to be at home. I don't want to be with my mother-in-law. But there are no options. There is one in my head - to go to my mother. I know my husband won't like it. I have an answer ready: "I've been dating your mother for 5 years in a row, now let's go with mine."

But I don't want to offend his mother either. I won't say that we have goodrelations . All sorts of things happened. She helps us, test-antibiotic.com but she is peculiar. She often gets hysterical, constantly demands attention. Moreover, she suffocates us with her attention.

She is very jealous of my grandchildren towards my mother. She climbs everywhere and anywhere. She knows everything: what color my manicure is, what I give to school and kindergarten as a gift for the holiday. My son reports everything to her. And a lot.

I haven't spoken to my mother yet. I'm afraid to give her hope and upset her. I want to go to them. Naturally, I'll cook at home and take everything with me. It's easier for her and for me.

I think I should take my mother-in-law with me. My mother always invites her too. So that she doesn't sit alone. Otherwise, my husband won't have a face, but a displeased expression all evening.

In short, I give in and adapt again. That's all relationships are. But I have to pull it all off. Honestly. I would put them in a house together, leave them grandchildren and company, noisy and cheerful. I'm tired of maternity leave at home.

But knowing my husband, I still need to work on him. And himMother can pull a stunt.

I want to ask, do I have the right to do this? Or am I doing it ugly? Am I wrong? Or did I deserve it. This is my mother. And she is mine toofamily . But for some reason my mother-in-law thinks that my mother is not a family anymore. Only her.
