So not only did I meet grandma but an aunt and a cousin with new baby in tow. It actually went well and they were all really nice. Of course I got to hear all the family gossip and drama from mom about her sister and mother in the car ride back. This trip had been set up since before the bowl matchups were even announced. Of course my flight home tomorrow is right during the OU game damnit. If this doesn’t show my commitment I don’t know what will.
Up in Tennessee visiting the other half of my family. My uncle and aunt (who's no one seen in 10 years) are coming up today. She is the most unpleasant woman ever. My grandmother is about to pass and giving away her stuff. She said yesterday that she would eat shit and run with squirrels before my aunt took any of her stuff. Can't wait for the fireworks tonight.
My MIL and SIL came to stay with us last night for the weekend. The power just went out and with it being a Saturday there’s no telling when it will come back on.
my mother bought me that and a camo hunting jacket 2 years ago. i laughed in her face and my dad just asked her what she was thinking my dad bought my gf an american flag hat this year for christmas
MIL executively decided to open one of the gifts she bought my daughter on Christmas Eve. Wife got pretty pissed off because that was the "first" christmas gift she received and it didn't come from us. We decided that gifts not given on Christmas day don't count and moved on with our lives. Fucking narcissist just had to get out a headband that we didn't even put on her.
A little bit, there's also a lot of bad blood between the two that will never be addressed -- as is the Midwestern way
Just caught shit for not wanting to go into the spare bedroom with no tv to put together a crib for a kid that’s not going to be born until June. MIL cannot stand that it hasn’t been put together since we got it last night when they arrived.
After Christmas Update: Grandmother was asleep when I dropped the chicken, sausage, noodles, mashed potatoes, green beans, etc. Just put it in the fridge. Heard that she was pissed that she only got white meat chicken because all the dark meat was eaten. Whatever you do isn’t good enough for her. Was heated that my uncle wouldn’t drop that food off to my Grandma Christmas Eve. Now that I heard the full story, don’t blame my uncle at all. I guess he was over helping her make fudge, and he wasn’t taking it seriously enough and my grandmother came after him with a knife. He had to knock it out of her hands. SMFH, gotta love Family!
I think you get a certain age and just fucking lose it. My parents gave my son a yo-yo. What am I supposed to do with this Great Depression toy?
What's wrong with a yo-yo though? How old is your son? There was a huge yo-yo fad when I was in 5th grade
in the convince parents to stop giving us gifts we hedged by saying get us stuff for our pets if you have to do something this was the year the dam broke and we got probably $200 in toys and treats and shit now to end this once and for all
My sister and two nephews left today after being here since Christmas day Got home and they found a squirrel in their house, had obviously been in there for several days Sister is convinced someone must have a key to her house and must have placed it in there because 'there is no way she wouldn't have noticed a squirrel getting past her going in and out and her sons are very good about closing the doors' Same woman who would walk out on my back porch and leave the back door open while she smoked a cigarette (nobody else here smokes) then literally leave it open again on her way in Same nephew that somehow let my dog out of the back yard three times, once actually through the house and out the front door But yea, no way a squirrel could have gotten past any of them
I was a little disappointed that there hadn't been any fistfights in this thread, but an attempted stabbing by Grandma makes up for it.
Needed to be over at mother-in-law’s no later than 4 on Christmas, arrived and they’re sitting on the couch wondering when we should order dinner. And said mother-in-law spent two hours at our house in the morning because it was too hectic at her house. I was so pissed I did an hour of fucking work. We ate Chinese food for dinner. It shouldn’t be hard but it always is...it’s truly special.
