Things I haven’t said out loud this week. Christmas edition

[YorkieTheRabbit]

We know you’re dropping hints and not very subtle ones either. No we haven’t seen you for sometime, I’m sure you do enjoy coming for a meal.
No we aren’t planning on inviting you over Christmas, if we can do a quick present swap, fine but no more.
I’m sick of catering for your family, coming to us for a meal doesn’t mean you don’t need to eat all day before you get here.
You all turn up, absolutely starving, the last time you came it was beyond ridiculous

You could always TRY INVITING US for once, even for a takeaway.

I don’t want to go to the village Christmas lunch - I don’t want to go to the carol service - I really really don’t want to go to the pub - I want to go out with my friends not my neighbours - stop bothering me - I don’t want to join in….

Instead I say “oh how lovely I will see you there” “really looking forward to it”

Your mind is blown by the fact that other people haven't finished their Xmas shopping by the middle of November?

What a sheltered life you must lead.

I will not be coming to your Boxing Day family party because you are a toxic bitch. For 20 years, because I love DH and don’t want to make things difficult for him, I’ve put up with your passive aggressive bullshit but not any more. You are so delusional that you have no idea how tedious and narcissistic you are.

No I don't hate Christmas just because I refuse to put my tree up in MID NOVEMBER

I don't want to buy anyone gifts and I don't want anyone to buy me any!!!

What's it to you that I don't decorate? You don't spend time enough time in my home for your opinion to matter on this point.

"I've sent you the information THREE. FUCKING. TIMES. It isn't difficult. Just read what I've sent to you and you'll have your answer"

And

"FFS woman. Just fuck him off. He's a useless, selfish, addicted, terrible excuse of a parent - he doesn't care about you and only wants to extend your agony until you take that step, so he can play the martyr. You're better than this. Do better"

Phew!

To my daughter’s friends mum-

Why the fuck have you gone to Lapland with your children and mother but not your husband.
Who, judging from his attendance and behaviour at parties is a total hands on dad, more hands on than mum in what I’ve seen.

I’m sure there must be more to it but really - that just doesn’t seem like a mum and nan situation when dad is very much an equal parent.

People are weird.

Can you ask for the money first next year ? My folks don't bank transfer and give me cash which is annoying but I do get it back at least

Omg this in capitals. Does my nut in!!!

I always put a lot of thought into your present and I feel like you grab the first thing you see in the supermarket. Said in my head to a friend

No I don’t want donate to the PTA chocolate tombola which tickets will only be then sold to the people that donated the bloody chocolate because I don’t in fact want to raise money for a Xmas disco that I can’t be arsed taking them to BECAUSE there is a kids party every bloody weekend!!!

And yes, that’s exactly how I say it in my head with no full stops or breaths!

I'm not fucking Santa, sort presents out for your family without asking me a million times for ideas.

Oh yeah. I feel you.....

I'm sorry I look grumpy. I am not in a mood with anyone. This is just how my face looks now I have aged after such an unrelenting few years. I don't want to do Christmas, I don't want to do life, but I am trying while my heart is either in my boots or beating out of my chest. Let me give up and just retreat from the world. It's too shit.

I can't even start to describe how many ways I have kept my cool and my mouth shut this week, or over the last 208 weeks, you lazy, self centered Knob !

@polkadotchristmas more or less. The last time they were here I ended up throwing two of them out of the kitchen, they came in under the pretence of seeing if I wanted a hand.
Erm, no thanks I’m fine, stop following me, move out of the way, let me get to the oven, the fridge, the cupboards, and certainly don’t start picking at food I’m preparing!
If they come for a meal you can bet your arse they won’t have eaten all day.
Even if they aren’t supposed to be eating here there will be hints about needing to go shopping for food/ getting something to eat.

We won’t be coming to your house ever again let alone on Christmas if my daughter has to watch her cousins open HUGE piles of presents when you have not bothered to get her anything. I’ve watched you brag for months how much you’ve bought your favourite, which you openly admit, grandchildren while mine is constantly forgotten about.

@BubblePerm

I Hope it gets better for you soon. 💐

😂

So you tell me that we need to keep the food shopping budget tight 'because Christmas' yet you come home with about 10 special items that only you like and only you will eat

If someone talks to me over the two days I'm off, then I shall flay them

I don't want to go anywhere, I don't want to host, I just want to be left alone

I talk to dozens of people in a call centre for work and I can't stand it

It was completely selfish of you to book a foreign holiday over Christmas, when you knew I'd committed to visit my in laws 200 miles away, then work. Who else do you think she is going to spend the day with? It's Christmas! And should've you be at home looking for a new job since you've been sacked?

Me too ❤️

And to add my bit :
No, I really don't care if I don't see you for Christmas for the fifth year, you stupid, abusive, entitled bastards.
Stay in your country and I'll stay here.
Oh, and when you are finally gone, I'll have the best Christmas one year - actually thinking what year it might be - all by myself.
👍

I'm sad that you've never hosted us for Christmas. We have hosted countless times. It occurred to me that we've never seen the house improvements you did in 2018 so that just about shows how much priority you give to our relationship even when it's not Christmas. I'm going to take a stand this year and risk upsetting mum.

I won't.
