I am in a three person relationship and the third set of grandparents feel themselves to be "grandparents" in every sense of the word except biological. And they are keen to become real grandparents in the future too. Kinda in the same way if you adopted children - your parents would likely feel like "grandparents".

If you adopted children, your parents would be grandparents, legally as well as emotionally.

Mass early, drive to visit my mother in a nursing home 50 kms away, then dinner in my brother's house, and I won't refuse a drink at any time.

Sounds good but where are you getting the six grand parents from?

Ah yeah, I remember your set up now, best of luck.

How did you miss that? It's mentioned in nearly all of his posts.

Fair play to you. The world would be a fantastic place with more people like you in it.

We're on part two of our honeymoon in NYC so we'll be up early for breakfast, then head shopping/site seeing. We're having dinner at the Rockefeller Centre tomorrow night.

Its all good thanks, but more hands make light work as they say. In terms of Christmas Day Plans it helps to have more people taking the load. Especially with the amount of kids we are going to have visiting tomorrow !! Its going to look like an over subscribed kinder garden here tomorrow.

Wohoo the dinner worked out with the many courses I put on. Starting off with a polish borscht and climaxing with the Goose named "Danny the Dinner" by my 6 year old daughter that I housed and nurtured from baby - to slaughter - to dinner plate - including not 1 but 4 different kinds of stuffing (the chestnut one was the best in the end) and then ending nicely with two different desserts.

Lots of happy people staggering around after that.

Enourmous dinner planned as every year. With six grand parents - multiple siblings - and many neices nephews and my own children to cater for I usually start cooking and preparing for this some weeks in advance.

Also since we do not do the Santa thing - we have a Christmas present treasure hunt thing going on all around our area and dublin area. With clues and riddles and puzzles and quests and challenges all set up and ready. The end locations of which allow us to hand deliver some presents to the children of friends and collect the clues there that I emailed them and they have printed out ready for our arrival.

Will be a big - involved - mass of excitement and joy for the kids and probably quiet wearying for me

LOl what the heck? That sounds hellish.


What is a 3 person relationship? :eek::eek:

I'm going to go away for xmas some year - just go and have everything done for me and not worry about anything. I used to think the idea of being away for xmas was terrible but not now. I can't when my parents are still alive though. It wouldn't feel right even though we don't make a big fuss of christmas as it is.

I have to admit i did feel a bit homesick yesterday not being at home. Alcohol quickly numbed those feelings.

Really? It was great to be honest. I love getting that much family and children together under one roof. It is rare to get everyone in one place given the size of our full extended family. And I _love_ cooking a lot so I get a large captive appreciative audience to boot. Win:Win for me!

Same as a couple - only with 3 people not 2.

Yeah it was a little confusing for the guests who did not know about Danny's history when I called everyone for the main Duck course and my daughter ran towards the table going "Dannnnyyyy!!!!!" It took a little bit of explaining
