What the hell. I didn't even know this was a thing. If I had went to Aunt Gertrude's house when I was a kid and rubbed my junk into her couch I would have had the schidt beat out of me.

Some of you all are related to feral monkey children.



what isn't being said is apparently no one tells these kids to wash their ass

He's constantly up the other dogs azzes and brown nosing them which causes a ruckus. My SIL shows up with her 5 yo black lab that's totally out of control, who my dog also hates. She's jumping up on the table trying to steel food all night long. Then my daughter's friend shows up with her pug that all of the dogs hate. So now we have about 20 people and 5 dogs that hate each other. The dogs are running around barking and getting into each other's schit. What a clusterfuk. Now it's no dogs allowed. Leave them at home so that we can enjoy our time together.


Sounds like some of the roundups I have attended. Why not just stop by the dog pound and get a half dozen dogs and turn them loose? Dont get me wrong, I like dogs, my dog! I like kids too, my kids and their kids! Your dogs and kids not so much.

I guess I'm lucky. I have no close family. I have a good lady friend who has a neat daughter and son in law and we are invited to their home on thanksgiving and Christmas for dinner. They also have other friends over and it is a friendly civilized holiday gathering and meal. I know I'm blessed in this way.

I might be the one because the brother that wanted nothing to do with us died in September. My sister lives 1 mile away. I asked if they wanted to come over for Thanksgiving. She said she already shopped and had Thanksgiving dinner bought. I said OK and waited for "why don't you come over?" Nope.

Sorry to hear about your mom. We were in your same position at Christmas last year. Mom could barely sit up and she passed on January 11. Christmas was not memorable last year.

We were going to invite a long time "friend" over for Thanksgiving. She's alone so it seemed like the right thing to do, right?

Over the course of time this person has pissed off every single person in her life to the point that they told her to her face not to ever contact them again. We were the last holdouts. That includes, ex-husband of 30 years, both son and daughter, mother on her death bed said don't let her in my room!, father for 15 years, sister, brother, co-workers, friends. She is very pleasant but is addicted to pain killers, constantly schemes, and is a petty thief, and pathological liar. If her lips are moving, she's lying. If she comes over, guard your medicine cabinet. She brings small gifts to ingratiate herself, even when you insist she not.

We hung in there with her until the other day. She called and said, "Hey, I'm helping clean out a house and there's some things over here you need". Sure who doesn't love a junk sale?

We picked up a few useful items like giant bags of potting soil but the prices she told us were not the prices the owner wanted. No problem, we paid what the owner wanted. Then she lied and said she got some of the money back which she hadn't but really, you lie to your friends over a $1 a bag?

And the pretty rocks in the yard that the owner said not to take, she put in our truck when we were inside looking at other items. And she wouldn't take no for an answer when I said I didn't want to try her drink. She couldn't let it go. I finally got her to look me in the eye and said, NO! And the pretty little glass dome that my wife asked about and was told no it's not for sale ended up in our bag. And the pile of "good stuff" in the garage Darcy was trying to sneak out, aka steal. "Oh, that's part of my payment for helping". When we got home and saw what had happened we said that's it. Took the items back that she had stuck in our bag and truck and explained to the lady in front of our friend that we DID NOT take her little glass globe, nor the other crap and here it was, and goodbye Darcy.

What's astounding to me is that every person in her life has tried to set her straight and eventually abandoned her for her stupid, petty garbage. People are their own worst enemy sometimes.

One lesson I learned young that stuck with me for life was when I had a boss that had a refrigerator full of Olympia beer. After working all day the crews would come in and he would sometimes offer someone a beer if he felt like they had worked extra hard that day. He would say, "Those are mine to give, not yours to take". So many people today never learned that simple lesson in what's right, and simple respect.

It's people like that teaching young people right from wrong that are missing in so many young lives today. Of course even the best of parents have an errant kid now and then, but most of these these people we see now causing all these problems had weak parents who didn't do their job.

I'm pretty lucky about Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Its just us, our two boys and their wives and nine kids. Only pain in the azz was #1 sons first wife and she's gone to wreck someone else's life.
The twice yearly reunions are what suck. Wife has three brothers who are pretty cool but they all married flakes. The oldest is just plain, talk to her dolls, nuts. The youngest is a hypochondriac who can manage to ruin a meal out with her unreasonable Karenesque culinary requirements.
Middle one is the main pain. Husband is a retired engineer who made good money which she feels obligated to throw at "her" house and stuff. She never had a job, has her high school certificate, and thinks she is the queen. Can't refer to anything by its generic name. Not a car, "My Accord V6". Not a ski boat, " my Mastercraft". She had him build her a mansion on the lake (3/4 mill) then when she burned out her friends, sold it and bought a big place a hundred miles away and is having hubby rehab the whole thing. "Our Amish guy said this was the most expensive small kitchen he's ever done."
I mentioned that we had given all our stimulus checks to the kids and she said, "I gave my kids a good education so they make good money". Thing is, ours make better but it is a waste of time. I go to keep peace and have become pretty good at tuning her out. I did discover that she has developed some issues which suggest dementia so I will try to be nicer and I do feel for her husband.
