To underline BERKS ( in red) on the envelope on in-laws christmas card?

[endofanera]

DH family are really narcissistic. They are obsessed with money and status. They have given me such a hard time for choosing to look after dd full time ( dd has a disability and has been in and out of hospital for over a year). They have given us no support, only judgement - must be my bad gene's apparently :0
DH grandma died a while ago and i was duped into not attening the funeral, along with dd. DH is sort of aware of what is going on, i dont want to talk about it too much with him, as it causes row's and we are under enough stress with dd's health problems.

Anyway, just recieved christmas card that was clearly just for dh, then another one just for dd. I have been dignified in all of their nonsense, but not any more!! Game on!

whatda think?

[endofanera]

BTW - They live in Berks.

[squeakytoy]

I wouldnt send them a card at all.

When you say it was "clearly just for dh".. was it just to "son" ?

[ChristmasIsForPlutocrats]

You could doctor DH's card: offer to post it for him and emphasise BERKS.

Good observation about the address, btw!

[endofanera]

No, its his aunt and uncle. (very close). It didnt say to DH but it was clearly just for him with a £10 m&s voucher in.

[MissCellania]

What did it say on it?

[endofanera]

Thanks ChristamsisforPlutocrats i thought so too

[Solopower1]

... except that it's pronounced Barks, isn't it?

On balance, nah. Ignore the card. Life's too short.

[endofanera]

nope, its BERKS as in Berkshire. I agree life too short but now reached my peak and seemed like a good opportuntiy to "let em have it" when you are faced with caring for a disabled DC, you discover fight you never had!

[Fakebook]

I don't get it. I'm thick.

[IneedAgoldenNickname]

Definitely pronounced barks. (unless everyone I know has been saying it wrong)

[squeakytoy]

it is Berkshire, pronounced as Barkshire..

so they sent a card with an M & S gift voucher.. erm, could that not be for the two of you then???

[heidihole]

definitely prnounced barks though.

[endofanera]

well, i make just make a spelling mistake then! Berks it is.

[endofanera]

MAY

[tethersjinglebellend]

The word 'Berk' is rhyming slang for cunt (Berkeley Hunt).

Go for it

[Solopower1]

Or .. don't. Leave it. Drop it. Now.

[IceNoSlice]

What did the card to DH say? Tell us, so we can see why you think it's only for him. and you should spend the M&S voucher

[ivykaty44]

Berkshire makes I would change the r for a t and underline the Berk in red

[ivykaty44]

thats the r in shire....

[TeamBacon]

Nah, one end says Berkshire, one end days barkshire.

When its just berks you pronounce it as berks :)

[endofanera]

Already spent IceNoSlice
As with all narcissits, its subtle. But, the one to DD says Dear Blah. Love Blah and Blah. The one to DH says, with lots and lots of Love Aunty Blah and Uncle Blah xxxxx. No dear or to, or names. ( the last few have had names) It may sound like im being oversenstive, but really, i know them.

[scottishmummy]

I think as mature adult ignore provocation
there are other issues in your marriage that need discussed

[endofanera]

Owww do i come across as a mature adult really, im not
But, your absolutly right re other isssssuuuueeess in my marragen
Loving the smileys tonight!

[LAlady]

Lived in Berkshire most of my life. Always pronounced Barks with everyone I know. Although DD did come home from school and said Berks. I corrected her

[endofanera]

LAlady how is it spelt on envelopes? Berks or Barks? Not lived there, but always spelt it Berks when shortening on envelopes. ( apologies if thats wrong!) and, thankyou for clearing up. Although, that said, im still going to continue with my mistake one more time, just for my immature, i dont give a crap what you think of me and dont mess with the mamma christmas card. ( totally pathetic, i know )
