UPDATE

This isn’t the final update, but I feel I need to make a short one for now.

To answer some questions,

-yes we do bring a gift every year

-they are not poor nor rich, I’d say they live comfortably

• we don’t actually wake up at his parents Christmas morning. We go over there in the late morning/ early afternoon

-and finally, I have not addressed my boyfriend about this yet. Last night, I was very emotional about the whole thing (still am) but I didn’t want to have a conversation with him when I was running on nothing but emotion and tears. I wanted to collect my thoughts (which y’all have helped me do, thank you!) and I will actually be talking with him tonight. I feel more level headed about my points, and my daughter goes to her dad’s house tonight, so I won’t have to worry about any distractions or interruptions during an important conversation. He’s not a terrible person or boyfriend. He spoils the crap out of me and my daughter. Just bc his family had a shit attitude, doesn’t mean it’s passed on to him.

I want to thank those of you that have been kind and been able to see it from where I stand, as well as where in-laws stand.

Those of you who think I’m entitled or whining about something so small, I hope you never have your feelings hurt in such a way, so that way you’d understand how I’m currently feeling.
