Xmas guests stropping off🙈

[Youwhatnowbiggles]

ive had 15 in the house for 5 nights. This evening a very heated debate about a current affairs topic ensued at the end of supper. I was becoming uncomfortable and asked dh (a major protagonist in the debate) to put a stop to it. He said to other relative that “youwhatnow is getting stressed, debate stops now”. Guest tried to continue, dh reacted by saying “enough” in no uncertain terms. Relative stormed out, sent their other half back in to say that dh had behaved badly and they are leaving first thing tomorrow before the rest of the kids wake up. I am exhausted. Even if they’re pissed off with dh I have spent five fucking days catering, entertaining, cleaning up, notwithstanding the flipping prep in the weeks before. And I am sad for my kids who are old enough to know that they’ve been dumped. Ffs.

Are you Clark Griswold @Youwhatnowbiggles ???

I would put my bet on it being either:

The strikes

or

Migrants and the Rwanda policy

Or perhaps something to do with Harry and Meghan.

So true 😁

Is it only me that thinks it’s a bit rude not to update these threads?

One post on 26th & now OP has buggered off!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

There can be all kinds of reasons; we don't know what's going on in someone's life. In some cases, including this one, it's even possible that the OP may think it would be outing to say more, It would be nice to get updates, but I don't think we're entitled to it. (And I speak as someone who rarely if ever posts OPs.)

Or more likely the OP is a 'plopper'. Makes one controversial post and never returns. Who knows why.

It's entirely possible that the op disappearing after she said her piece is exactly what happened at the 'debate'.
It's really rude.

Spot on
