Changed name for this.
On first 'holiday' for a year and a bit. Visiting FIL with DH and kids for first time in 12 months. Everyone very excited etc. 200 mile journey in UK.
But I forgot what a nasty shit he can be.
Making racist remarks that he knows are provocative (we've had this conversation before). The kids were open mouthed and DH and I both stepped in to say calmly that wasn't an acceptable way to speak. FIL sat chuckling away. Making nasty comments about anyone and everyone. He isn't sad or lonely, just gleefully spiteful.
Why does he do this? He's seen very few people for a year, possibly hasn't got long left on the planet (he's 87) and his grandkids thinks he's an arsehole. What a horrid way to spend your time and what a memory to make.
We leave tomorrow. Thank god.
Just had to say it somewhere.
