My mil, fil and partner ruined my Christmas, it was my babies first Christmas, I wanted it to be about him it was something special to me because I love Christmas and I was told that’s what everyone wanted so I went ahead with it and had Christmas at their motel had I known how it was going to turn out I would have spent it at my families house or at home.

Luckily he is only seven months so he won’t remember his first Christmas but I will.

During the day I went and had a nap with my son when I woke up they were very drunk.

I’m an indigenous Australian and my father in law started the day wearing an I support trump cap then half way through he switched to a Pauline Hanson cap, both are openly racist politicians so that made me uncomfortable that he would wear those in front of me even if he does support them.

My mother in law got so drunk she broke two wine glasses, fell over and couldn’t get back up, plus she kept getting in my babies face which really annoyed me, I did ask her not too but it kept happening.

They have a dog they kept letting it put its face centimetres close to my sons face, I asked them not to let that happen and removed my son serveral times, they thought it was cute but my son loves to pull hair so I was worried he’d hurt the dog then it might retaliate and bite him or lick his face, I explained this and said it’s safer for them both to not let it happen.

Also they gave the dog wine, I could not believe it it’s so wrong and animal abuse.

My partner got very drunk too, told me he needed to in order to Tolerate going to my families house for a few hours in the afternoon, I had explained to him how I thought he was selfish for getting extremely drunk on our babies first Christmas to which he told me many previous Christmas’s he would get blackout drunk and didn’t think it was a big deal.

When we got back to his parents house he immediately got out of the car and said I need to go apologise to mum, then. He spent a further two hours with them while I put our son to bed.

So my question is, if this happened to you what would you do for future holidays or what would you do in general about any of this and how would you have handled the situation ?
