What do a barn, a crib, and a Facebook fiasco have in common? These elements frame my Christmas nightmare with my in-laws.
I’m Evelyn, here to share a tale filled with creepy barns, adorable twins, and in-laws who overstepped boundaries.
My husband, Mike, and I have been blissfully married for two years, recently welcoming twins into our lives.
This Christmas, aiming to celebrate our twins’ first holiday season, Mike’s parents extended an invitation for a two-week stay at their home,I envisioned a restful fortnight, with the grandparents doting on the twins, allowing me some well-deserved sleep.
After all, we hadn’t seen them since our wedding,
and I anticipated a warm, loving reunion.
Packing for four, I included treats for the in-laws and wildflower honey for my mother-in-law’s tea, eagerly anticipating our family gathering.
Their excitement to meet the twins was palpable, immediately enveloping them in love — a mother’s dream, yet not without its caveats.
The shock came with the sleeping arrangements. Mike and I were assigned separate rooms,
a peculiar but manageable setup until I saw my “room” — a barn.
Despite its bed and heater, the barn’s ambiance was far from welcoming. Discussing this odd setup with Mike led nowhere; he saw no issue, asking, “What are you complaining about?”
The situation escalated when discussing where the twins would sleep.
