Hoss Bonaventure sorry man. They sound like they suck. My uncle was like that with our family too growing up. He was going to do whatever the fuck he wanted to do and he would argue with you about it until the end of the earth. Eventually my mom and dad just stopped involving him, and he just wasn’t really apart of our lives anymore unless it was holidays. And even then, my mom and dad were on a very strict get in get out policy to avoid dealing with him and his mom who defended and enabled him.
Honestly it’s more of a recent development with them. Our son is the first grandchild they had and they were really supportive in just being grandparents. Now that they have our nephew and our niece on the way they’ve become more of a “we know what’s best for the kids” attitude. It’s not just us. They’re doing it to my brother and sister in law with their kids as well with other things.
Yes it was very weird when told to me by my wife. She came in through the backyard when she has keys and a garage door opener and just didn’t bring our son with her. It’s really odd. My BIL was pretty upset as he loves our son like he was his own and excited to spend time with him and just “nope”.
I don’t think so. I think it’ll be if they wanna see us they can come here. It’s kinda become that not because of this but it’s just a much bigger burden on us to go there than for the grandparents on both sides to come here. My FIL isn’t allowed to come here though still and I wouldn’t go to his home.
We like him going there because he gets to play on the farm and with his cousin and everything. But I’m not ever going there and my FIL isn’t allowed in my home because of last Christmas. There’s an elephant in the room and I’m not the type to just ignore it. I’ll grab it by the trunk and it’s not worth driving that far to deal with that.
So it snowed really bad and we were at my in-laws house and had to head down to my parents for Christmas. My wife went to move the car so we could load everything up and she got stuck in their driveway. They live way out in the mountains just for reference. So she calls me to come outside because she has our son already in the car and asks me to go ask her dad to come and get the car unstuck. So I go in and ask him and he tells me I need to be a man and take care of my family myself. I don’t say anything back and go outside and we leave. It took all I had in me not to beat the fuck out of him but he’s a sad piece of shit and I know it. He says shit like that all the time to people but my own father would never speak to me like that. Haven’t spoken to him since and don’t plan on ever doing so again.
I swore he’d never see our son again but after like 6 months I gave in and let our son go visit. I didnt even let him see him in photos or FaceTime but I felt I was doing our son wrong by not letting him see his grandfather who does love him. It’s been over a year. We were supposed to have Christmas dinner last year with them but I straight up said no and we stayed at my parents and I haven’t seen them since. He’s never apologized or anything so there is no way I could be in the same room with him now.
Don't know if I'd be as pissed but that is incredibly inappropriate to do that without even calling you first to ask. Boomer parents really just don't get it so much of the time.
It’s also why I know the haircut was from him bitching about our son’s hair. My MIL is great but she is completely controlled by him and would only have done it because he told her to do it. She doesn’t get to make her own decisions.
The FIL probably believed the long hair put sin in the boys heart. So he cut it that day to make a new start. Now the boy won't live a life of fear and dread with a tangled mess upon his head.
Before the pandemic my wife did hair, and had done a friends kids hair at the salon/our house for 5+ years. In the midst of a divorce and out of spite, the kids mom reported my wife to the state for just doing an in-home cut without her direct approval that one time. The dad brought him over, we didn’t even know they were getting a divorce. Wife had to do a series of Zoom calls with the state over the course of a year, the hair stuff is 100% a big deal.
She's probably my favorite person in the world - and makes me want a daughter, we just don't have the time. Her mom is the aforementioned sister of MLS that is like 28 and already has two Lamborghinis so God knows how much money my niece is going to accrue by the time she's in high school.
If you had the ability to get the car out of stuck in the snow yourself, why did you go inside to ask for help?
Because my wife asked me to ask him as I was getting the luggage and everything. He was just sitting in his chair watching tv while I was getting everything rounded up to load up. It was a hey can you ask my dad to come help me cause I know you’re doing something type of deal.
We added it up when we were in Detroit and she's made a little over 9k but I don't know what this year's Thanksgiving or Christmas were so she's easily sitting on over 10k as a damn 9 year old
We didn't go back so nothing too crazy on our end other than my mom's friend getting a DUI on a 4 wheeler on, I believe, a major highway or interstate We did however find out that our houseguest and my employee (from her own admission) is a highly trained fighter and while in Colombia beat up a nephew of a significant cartel figure, so yes, I brought that into the house. May be better for the dumb shit wives thread but anyway, she's living with us and we didn't find out about any of this until during the UGA game yesterday
Unlike myself and Ethan she was the smart one that didn't go to college and just started making bank at Twin Peaks at 18 with no housing expense
I feel like there is a lot of Yada Yada Yada involved in going from 18 year old with nice tits to 28 and owning two Lamborghinis
If memory serves, they tack a pile of cash to the back of a turtle and turn it loose. Whoever finds it first keeps the cash.
Couple of components here: My mom's backyard is a full tiki bar so family events include a lot of people that aren't actually family Everyone puts in various amounts of money It is taped on the back of our tortoise and he gets an hour head start The kids all search for him like an Easter Egg hunt Whoever finds him gets the money I'm from Florida, lower your expectations on rationality here
I'm also pretty sure he's in on it at this point because if he isn't found he comes back to the house anyway
She said she worked everything out with the Father (cartel boss) which is when Ethan started getting pretty pissed at me "She worked it out, the fuck does that mean?"
I'll move my additional commentary to the stupid shit wives/gfs/housemates do but I have many thoughts on this fucking situation
He has me catsit a lion and you're worried about Clan del Golfo For shame (couldn't find Eurotrip GIF)
I find your lives so fascinating. Also if you have the means and worked for it, why the hell not buy a Lamborghini or two.
