There’s few things worse than mama llama drama and you have to deal with it at its peak Ts and Ps Llama
Yeah, the gift complaint stuff makes a lot more sense now. I'm glad you out your foot down about the counseling stuff. I feel like I'd have a very shitty relationship with some of my family if I grew a pair and called them out on their subtle and sometimes blantant racist/Fox News points they reguritate whenever they get together. I love my MIL, I wish she would move closer to us.
Look man, I know a lot of people are going to joke about this but you absolutely need to enforce boundaries with this woman. I’m no psychiatrist but it sounds like she acts this way because people have let her. She fucking recorded you for Christ’s sake, with the likely intention of getting custody of your kids. And it sounds like the whole trip to your house was precisely for this purpose (presents my ass). And she did this sober. I know this is going to sound harsh, but if she doesn’t truly change it might be best to cut her out of your life completely - especially when it comes to your kids’ mental health.
I feel dumb even posting this now. My wife’s family is horrible about eating when food is ready. I timed out all the breakfast food and they sit around chatting and have to be drug in to eat. Then we make Christmas dinner with ham, turkey, macaroni & cheese and stuffing. All that have to be timed to be finished at the same time from different ovens. They all try to be “polite” and wait to get the food and sit around chating about stupid shit while I’m running around making sure the food is ready at the same time. No assholes, get your food, sit down and eat it while it is hot. My wife does the same thing when I grill out steaks. She’ll attend to some stupid shit while the steak is getting cold and I won’t wait for my steak to get cold. MONSTERS!
Your mother seems to be portrayed by the lady in the first season of the sinner, congrats on making it out of that house alive.
Your mother reminds me of an ex years ago llama. She truly sounds bi-polar. She needs to be kept away from the family for good. Ive had to do it with my sister because she was also a dramatic psychopath that did nothing but try and stir up drama and make everyone miserable around the holidays. Haven't spoken to her in 3 years and she lives 20 mins away.
This. My mother had to do something similar with her mom. She was bi-polar and was just a nasty individual who wouldnt get help and was a severe ahcohilic. So my mother cut her out of her life. They didn’t speak for 20 years and her mom died with that rift between them. It’s hard but it was for the best.
Was going to say Bi-polar, and it appears other posters have come to the same conclusion based on that limited, albeit instructive behavior sample.
My god all my parents friends have kids that are absolute rockets or play golf. What a situation for your boy teelsy every holiday season. My aunt really needs to stop making sound effects after every bite of food though, we get it’s good dude.
Llama. Remember those throwing stars you sent me a few years ago? might want to buy some more for the next time your mother visits.
He probably sent those away so llama mom can’t get a finger on those things. Probably saved a few lives, especially cousin llama
There’s some good serious responses and funny ones but a good gif especially a good Seinfeld gif will always get a good laugh out of me. So thanks
Fuck that. Shitty people don’t deserve to be in your life, no matter the relationship. I had a pretty tenuous relationship with my mom growing up. When I was in my low-mid 20s I decided to cut her out of my life. Was great. When I got married, my wife thought it was important that I try to reconcile with my mom. So I invited my mom over to meet my wife. Within 30 minutes, she was starting drama and that was the end of that. The day my wife died, she called me and wanted to know the funeral arrangements so I told her she wasn’t welcome at the funeral. She started yelling and cursing me out. This was literally like an hour or two after I found out my wife was dead. Haven’t talked to her since that day (almost 5 years now) and it’s been great. My sister still maintains some kind of relationship with her and she’s always complaining to me about shit that my mom says or does. Finally told her I don’t wanna hear that shit anymore. I’ve probably told her 100 times just to cut off contact but she won’t listen, so she gets to deal with that stress.
Recording conversations and calling you a child abuser is the most concerning part imo. You can put up with a lot for family but she's fucking with your children and potentially trying to have them taken away from you
I think I’ve read the story about your wife before in another thread. I see that it’s been almost five years (and you might have even remarried?—have that in my head for some reason), but still, it tears me up picturing myself in that situation. You are only the second internet stranger I’ve ever felt the urge to give a hug (with wes tegg being the first, obviously, but that’s a different sort of urge ). Hope you’re well, buddy.
I hate to fuck with what may be my most liked post, but my parents just informed me that this story is slightly inaccurate, although I think the true story is funnier. They actually didn’t get my cousin the truck. My uncle just thought they did, so he punished them for no reason. They told me that they paid my uncle back the next year by getting my little cousin some sort of bowling ball and pins set, with which he was sure to fuck up my uncle’s house.
