Is it too early to start drinking?!

[LissJas]

Baileys 👀

My MOTHER.

She is the most rude, condescending, critical, dismissive, sneery, nasty person I have ever met.

I arrived last night at 6, was in tears by 8:30pm (and I am NOT an emotional person) and went to bed at 9:30pm.

I managed to stay away in the bedroom until 9:30am but now it's full on exposure until bed tonight 😱🙈

So - AIBU to crack open the bottle of Baileys I just specifically went and bought and start adding it surreptitiously to my coffee??

It's never too early. Go for it. Cheers.

No! I had some in my morning coffee. No rules at Christmas.

It's 5 o'clock somewhere! Cheers op

Baileys is made for morning coffee, crack on!

Do it!

If you can’t drink early at Christmas when the hell can you??

I had a glass of champagne with my breakfast and I’m planning a baileys coffee after my lunch so...

I'm having a Budweiser. Good luck OP

Do not visit her next year !

Darling why subject yourself to that women??? Bollocks that it's Christmas, if she makes you miserable then cut her out of your life.

But on a lighter note, crack on with the Baileys. Maybe slip some into her coffee and she might lighten up.

Go home! THEN crack open the Baileys. Don't put up with shit like that, it's your Christmas too.

why are you there?! leave! why should anyone be able to make you feel you need a drink to cope with them.

Nope, big family Christmas, including my children, so plenty of other people to consider before myself.

Cheers everyone!

But is she only awful to you and nice to everyone else or is she 'rude, condescending, critical, dismissive, sneery, nasty' with them too?

I'd say baileys is a necessity here

Good luck op

When can you go home?

Enjoy 🥃🥂

Go for it 💐

Definitely start drinking. Perhaps it will make you belligerent towards her?! From the sounds of it, she deserves it.

Baileys coffee here too! Then I'll be having port and Stilton for lunch!

Wonder what your mother thinks about you?

Judging by your input on recent political threads (including coming onto one where vulnerable people were feeling worried), it doesn't look like the apple falls far from the tree.

Oh, everyone is a potential for the firing line.
I have NO idea why she picks on me so much. We're leaving on Boxing Day so only another 48hrs!

Pannikin - this has literally nothing to do with politics, it's about my mother's behaviour towards me. If you want to have a conversation about politics then go back to the appropriate thread please.

Oooohh... Advanced search very useful here.... Pannikin isn't wrong.....

@ssd Advanced search very useful here.... Pannikin isn't wrong...

Indeed. There was me feeling sorry for the OP.

I'm sorry for her mum.

I'm being stupid here how do I advance search? I can only see a search option?
