Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : I come from a big family, my siblings and I are all in our 30s and have partners. Every other year we all celebrate Christmas together by getting together Christmas eve through to Boxing day. I am married and have a 4 year old dog, and a 6 week old baby. My dog is well behaved and has always attended Christmas with no bother.

  


This year my BIL has decided my dog isn't welcome. I don't the why and cant get a straight answer out of him. He and my sister are hosting, so I understand that if they don't want the dog on the premises that's the end of it. However...

1) they've had him there twice before. It's never been a problem in the past

2) they didn't mention it would be a problem until after all the plans had been made, so we weren't able to make a different plan where the dog wouldn't be in their home

3) we offered not to come, but my parents (who are getting on a bit etc) were so sad I can't do it to them

So today after 2 months of manipulative texts and phone calls etc I gave in and have agreed to take a taxi there and back on Christmas eve dinner and Christmas day lunch.

This means:

1) spending a fortune on taxis

2) waking up early to sort out the dog

3) not having a crib there for the baby so she'll be overtired and screaming

I thought I was ok with it, but its 0230 and I can't sleep because I'm so angry that I'm having to run around to make everyone else comfortable and wont be able to enjoy my first Christmas with my daughter. Am I being an asshole though?
