is it too early to say how much my mother annoys me because...

[carlajean]

I'm 54. She's over for Xmas this year and bought bloody Pictionary with her (I hate Pictionary) and said 'OK let's play Pictionary'. And there we are, playing Pictionary. What's wrong with saying 'would you like...' or 'do you mind.....' It's my house and she's still being a controlling PITA. Flame me all you like but I don't think it's on to do this.
Merry Xmas everyone

Is this a joke?

Awwww sympathies OP though I do like a bit of Pictionary myself. What would you rather be doing other than playing Pictionary. How can you steer it that way?

Poor you. X mas should be your time now that your a mum!! Hope christmas day is better than tonight for you!! xx

Just say
'I can't be arsed, il be back in a bit'

Say 'no'.

It's your home, if you want to watch shit TV or play on MN or just drink, then do, don't feel obliged to play shit games

I've never heard of someone vindictively suggesting Pictionary before - it's a new low in the annals of MIL crimes. Broken Britain indeed.

Based purely on your op, you should just be grateful that she is not bringing scrabble.

And being 54, you should be grateful that you have a mum to play games with.

I am changing my mums nappies. I bet you would not want to swap.

No one can be forced to play pictionary. Well, I don't think they can.

You say, 'no thanks mother, I was just going to have another gin. Maybe tomorrow'.

How hard can it be? Has she got one of those contraptions off a Clockwork Orange, holding your eyeballs open, injecting you with sodium pentathol, so you can't help but guess?

Aw you big grump, Pictionary is fab!!

OP, try the Stately Homes thread in Relationships, where I suspect you will find people who understand what you are getting at. :)

What fresh hell is this?

Pictionary?

The horror

I love pictionary, hope my mum brings it tomorrow

eh????? someone been hitting the vino early?.

I adore Pictionary - only cause I win mind you. Are you a bit shit at drawing :o?

:( DingDongQuintessential

I have never played Pictionary .

Send her round my way, I'd love a spot of Pictionary. Our TV doesn't get turned off all day b

Send her round here, I love a good game of Pictionary, and Scrabble, oh and Monopoly, charades... I draw the line at chess much to my DS's disgust.

I have pens, paper and silly hats.

peggy I am really shit at drawing, but still LOVE pictionary! I am also shit at geography, but I love the way I can draw a rubbish map, pointing to completely the wrong place, but mum still knows what country I meant!

I didn't say anything, but I am quite disappointed she didn't bring it with her today!
