Family feud

LokiLahve · November 2013

Now that the day of being thankful for everything and everyone in our lives is over....anyone have any IL or family bitches to air?

LiylaRae · November 2013

Ooh I can't wait to follow this thread. Let the IL stories begin

LokiLahve · November 2013

We traveled over 400 miles to have Processed turkey and premade mashed potatoes from a tub,.,yes, I'm still bitching about this. I told DH last night I hope he is prepared to cook a turkey when we get home.
Other than that I really can't complain, my ILs are nearly perfect compared to some of the nightmares I read about on here.

My SIL was watching LO for me last week and passed out on a combination of her anxiety meds and being hungover. When we got home LO was hysterical. It took me an hour to calm him down. She apologised, and I know she didn't do it deliberately, but I was very upset and angry. I wouldn't have minded but she knew she was watching LO so she shouldn't have been hungover, which is what I think contributed to her passing out. We are very close normally and I don't have any other complaints about her but this really got me upset! Vent over!

@orlaithsheanon16 she would never watch my baby again, ever.

She won't be. And she hasn't asked since, I think she's too embarrassed Luckily dh's mom was usually around when SIL was watching LO but this particular time she was out with me.

BIL's dad told me my son better not be gay.

WildRumpus · November 2013

My family thanksgiving was actually lovely this year, but we celebrated w/ BIL and some of his friends last weekend. One friend basically force fed her 4 yr old green bean casserole after he said he didn't want it. Well, he gagged himself, puked on his plate AT THE TABLE and she STILL made him take a bite of the damn casserole. I'm sorry, but once it's slathered in cream of anything, it's no longer a vegetable.

I was telling MIL how I can't wait to take S to Disney. She warned me that most of the people who dress as characters are gay (she used the H word though)

LokiLahve · November 2013

Oh now I have a legit bitch. DH took LO after I fed her @6am and let me sleep, sweet. I get up an hour later and fil is holding her...cool. I pick her up and realize she smells like a fucking ashtray...wtf.
They don't smoke in the house but since it's so cold they've been smoking in the closed garage, which is like sitting in a cig hot box.
I'm beyond pissed off. Just now fil wanted to try to rock her to sleep....um, no. I took her and nursed her to sleep. Tomorrow morning can't come soon enough.

@LokiLahve This is why DH's aunt is not allowed to be near DD. I don't understand how people don't get it with the second hand smoke these days. There's plenty of information out there.

No real complaints here since I didn't have to see the ILs for Thanksgiving. : ) But my MIL called three times this week. First was stupid Christmas questions. Second was to make sure we "didn't change our minds" about Thanksgiving. Third time was to try and guilt us into having her over this weekend after we specifically said November was bad for visits, but December would be better. She knows I go back to work on Mondays since at one point GMIL decided MIL was going to help watch DD (long story there), so she was counting down the days. (She told me that once.)

OMG. that is beyond terrible.

MommyBolty · November 2013

40 people under one roof at my grandmother's house. It was chaos... But really really fun. If anyone was feuding I certainly didn't notice because I was either passing the baby or soothing the baby. Busy busy busy day but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. LO got to meet all 4 of her great grandparents on my side. And I couldn't be more thankful for everything that made it possible for us to travel 700 miles to visit them!

BlueJewelM · November 2013

My toddler loves trucks. But when he says it...it sounds like he is saying "fruck" or...fuck. I try to not make a big deal or giggle (because it is funny) and just focus on the "tr" sound. But all my inlaws had him say it over and over and over and laughed. So now DS1 thinks it's funny to say it at the top his lungs because he loves the laughs.

DH thinks I'm overreacting. But he's not the one who stays at home and takes him to target while yelling fuck!

I usually like my inlaws enough. Oh well. Come on Sunday. Ready for the 4 hour drive home.

I had a surprising good time at my sister-in-laws just to come and hear from my mom and sis that my dad completely lost it and my mom is now trying to figure out the best way to leave.

Eta: this was a long time coming just not so wonderful timing

This was my family last Christmas. Sorry to hear it, but hope everything works out for the best!

BlondieBia21 · November 2013

The day went surprisingly well. The only thing that really pissed me off was when mil was changing her son (he has cerebal palsy) and I was holding LO who was happily giggling and playing with me and she says "Teagan, grandma is sorry that she can't take care of you and you're stuck with her. I have to take care of your uncle now."

Wtf.

Gosh I just want to taco box her for you.

Hhaber · November 2013

No in law stories because we didn't have to see them at all... Woo hoo! My own family annoyed me though. I love them all to death and we are very close, but if I hear how "mommyfied" LO is one more time, I will drop kick someone. It was very loud there and she was overwhelmed, overstimulated and overtired. Of course she only wants her mommy. And if she is crying, give her to me! Don't tell me we both need to get used to it. For once, I was happy to leave a holiday early and go see DH at the firehouse. Nobody there gave me any unsolicited advice.

bingomama · November 2013

I can only handle my (Soon to be) MIL in small doses. So I was kind to her for about 2 hours and then I snapped and couldn't be sweet anymore. She likes to be the center of attention and tells stories about her many ailments. She also told me that I should put cereal in the bottle because her kids slept 9 hrs at 9 weeks. But she added too much cereal and it was really thick...oh geez. She was also very pushy with the applesauce, "stuffed" celery (with cream cheese), and her apples. Sorry nobody wanted your delicious treats. I finally had to start ignoring her.

LJUTCMommy · November 2013

I don't have any vents, just going to brag about yesterday. DH went to the aiport to pickup some ILs who were traveling home from the middle east. He was gone all day. SIL came over and cleaned up and helped me with DD.

My meal was amazing. I made both traditional American food (stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, etc.) and Kabuli Pulaw which is the holy grail of Afghan cooking. I made everything from scratch (including the chicken broth, since it had to be halal for MIL), and it took 3 hours.

I probably would have cried if it wasn't amazing. Thankfully, it was. The ILs were super impressed. SIL even admitted when they make it they don't make it from scratch, they use pre-chopped and fried onions and bouillon cubes. They even said they like mine better.

Coconuthead · November 2013

@ LJUTCMommy that sounds delicious.

We were on our own for Thanksgiving but my partners mom called. LO was playing and ah-goohing in the backround and she commented that he sounded "off". Really lady? LO is thriving and meeting all his milestones so fuck you very much.

AACaHa13 · November 2013

Ohhh so pissed at my SIL. First of all, she already overwhelms me with wanting to see lo once a week on mine and dh's only day off together! She doesnt need To see him that much! She tags herself in every picture i post of lo on facebook.....ummm No i dont like for everyone on your friend list to see MY pictures! Anyway.... So we got to my dh's Thanksgiving and as soon as we walked in the door, SIL asks, "CAN I HOLD HIM!?" I told her yes and to wash her hands....she comes back super fast while I'm trying to get him out of his car seat pretty much reaching over me to get him.... I said, "I will get him." I hand him over and she starts kissing all over him and stuff. Well, after she left everyone was saying how SIL kept complaining earlier that she felt sick..... I was so pissed. Why would she kiss all over my child's face knowing she felt sick!? So inconsiderate. DH texted her later telling her how it was so wrong for her to do that and what if she was starting to get the flu? That could be really awful for our 3 month old! She replied with...."I'm not fricken sick thanks though!! Hope you two had a good thanksgiving" she's a damn liar. Why would everyone there lie to us about her feeling sick. I seriously can't stand her anymore. She acts like this crazy aunt that is over stepping her boundaries and I told MIL that it won't be long until I tell her off! X(
