To ask who pissed you off this Christmas?

[Fedupfrankly]

My BIL has just left and was such a grumpy sod for the whole time he was here. 🙄 I wanted to shake him but DH told me to just leave it, it's just what he's like... and don't I know that's true!!

What about you? Who got on your nerves?

My sister. Behaves like a teenager but trapped in a 40 something body. Getting more selfish by the day.

Made my sick mum drive her home when she could have got the train and saved my mum the journey.

My mother in law calling me Wendy. My name has an "y" ending but is not Wendy. I have been married to her only remaining son for 27 years and produced her only grandchildren. She is very elderly but can do most things and lives alone with a bit of support from DH.

I bought and wrapped all her gifts. Carefully chose every one. Wrote love from DH and xxxxy on all of them. She still decided to call me Wendy even after DH gently corrected her, and the kids did too.

Mark from Parcel force. Aggressive twat who can't read/follow simple instructions.

Someone with a man cold, coughed very loudly and who belched.

My dh
Moody, grumpy and generally a drain
Roll on going back to work and normality

I think my EXH was supposed to have pissed me off as he got DS4 a drum kit but it honestly doesn't bother me 🤷🏼‍♀️ also it's really cheap and crap so i can't see it lasting much longer and ive enjoyed watching DS playing with it

I have had a really sore throat and laryngitis since last week. We were invited to my sister's for Christmas day afternoon/evening. I didn't feel too bad so I checked it was OK to go (in case they were put off by my germs) and was welcomed by sister and niece and nephew. BIL insisted on smoking evil little cigars all evening, I couldn't escape unless I wanted to stand outside or in the kitchen or bathroom. When we got home I felt awful, throat even more sore and my voice had completely gone. I can't stand him anyway, he's an ignorant pig, but I thought he might give me some consideration. Mind you, my sister is asthmatic but he doesn't care about that.

My younger sister, 43. My mum has just been put on home dialysis, dad is having to do all this, she brought one bottle of cheap bucks fizz and sat on her arse for 3 days while me, dad, middle sis, and our respective partners did everything. She wouldn't even get up to pass things. She also sat down at the table and started loading her plate before i had brought the last dish through, and then had a rant at middle sis who asked her to wait. When I tried to call her out later on she shouted at me.

Middle sis and I have had enough. She's a selfish bitch.

DF being a cantankerous old git and putting DM down with every breath. Us pulling him up but DM shrugging it off because she cba for the fight. DH not well.
DB loves hosting but he’s had some health problems this year and it was just beyond him but he wouldn’t give it up. House was a mucky state. DNs running riot. Way too much plastic shite given them and they got completely overwhelmed.
DSIL had to work and I wished I could join her for a bit of peace!

One of DH's relatives and the horrible way he spoke to his partner in front of the whole family

My SIL but to be fair she pisses me off constantly.

My mother has enraged me. This probably sounds silly hit a elderly relative of our is terminally unwell and is very unlikely to be here for next Christmas. She bought me a beautiful gift that I love (not expensive but something that she knew I would love). The second this lady left my mother picked up my gift and handed it to my sister in law and told her oh this is beautiful take it home with you.

FIL.

Misogynistic racist homophobic brexit voting arsehole who emotionally blackmailed my partner of 15 years (only child) into giving up the 1st Christmas we would have spent together in 5 years (partner usually works Christmas, we don't live together due to his work). FIL used memory of dead MIL (who he treated like utter shit when she was alive) death 18 months ago to do so. FIL had had invites from 8 of his siblings who live by to spend it with them, but no...

I'm also mad at myself for falling for the blackmail and encouraging partner to stay with his father. I've spent the whole of Christmas totally on my own - I've no family in the UK. Never again!

Pissed off no, just hurt deeply.

The person who stood by me, took me under her wing and looked out for me when my beloved gran died last year. And who then turned on me and humiliated me in the worst way she could have mid November. Hung over me throughout Advent and Christmas (an important time for us given how we met). Just sad really. Christmas is hard enough when there is an empty seat at the table right?

Probably not as bad as others but we've become the default hosts now as I'm female with kids. FIL decided a few years back he would come to us every year. Just books his flights without consulting us about dates. He's totally immobile these days so we end up being stuck with him in the house for a week while he expects to get waited on hand and foot. He has no manners and is just a bit foul.
Three DBs arrive usually late and never bring any drinks. This year we catered for 10 and nobody offered to bring anything - a lot were drinking 0% beer but didn't bring any and were annoyed we only had a few cans.
I just want to go away for Xmas - once we're past the Santa years it'll be happening!

SIL

minutes before we went meant to leave for PIL, we got a text they were heading to a&e because MIL was injured. After several hours it became clear we needed to make alternate plans. I texted with the family and thought we came to a Boxing Day agreement that would be easy for everyone. We proceeded to figure out a meal and activities for our household to enjoy the day. PIL get home very late, at the time people normally head home, let us know MIL is ok, but exhausted, and they will see everyone tomorrow. SIL immediately messages that they haven’t eaten and are heading over for dinner. Mil cooked while people sat around. We had been bringing part of the meal so we called her and asked if it would be easier if we attended or not. She asked us to come so we did and helped out as we could. DH had asked me not to yell at people so I didn’t. My child did get to listen to my rant in the car on the way home about how everyday sexism was on display

Youngest sister is going to find there will be no family Christmas for her when the parents go. I won't have her, and nor will middle sis. Middle sis and her partner often host a fab boxing day, and told me the reason they weren't doing it this year was because of her, they would have gladly had the rest of us.

DP. A month ago he walked out of his job, the second time this year. Four months this year he’s contributed zero towards household finances. Yet he’s managed to spend an awful lot of money buying stuff for dd and I. Apparently I need another two lap trays, another two blankets, and more handcream and expensive body lotion will I never use. Whilst dd needs a third trainset, another rocket launcher and another kite (to add to the three he bought her last year). And that’s just a fraction of what we both have from him. I look miserly in return but we don’t have room for lots of things we won’t use.

I'm so very sorry...
Yes Alzheimer's annoyed me this year too...

Hold on. Why didn't you speak up??!

I hope you said no - it's my gift from X - and took it back. Please say you did!

My ‘uncle’. He always attends family gatherings, happy to take gifts but never give etc, sits in the corner and doesn’t join in the conversation or speak to anyone unless directly spoken to, but is apparently very chatty with his mates in the pub and at work etc.

He was invited on Xmas day and again came in, didn’t even say ‘hi’ to anyone already in the lounge and just sat down on the sofa.

It was the first time i’ve seen him since being pregnant, he couldn’t even say a simple ‘congratulations’ to me. Such a weirdo and i’ll happily never see him again, it’s really pissed me off for some reason 🤣

Oh I did believe me. I am just so hurt about how little I mattered. This lady has been part of my life for nearly 40 years. I am basically her main carer but still my mother had more time for her sil than her daughter.

Friends child, who was very unhappy that I only got her 4 presents (mixture of toys clothes and chocs). She announced in a huge strop that I’d only got her 4 presents, while chucking them on the floor and then sulking. I felt like taking them all back. This is a child whose insane amount of presents from Christmas Day had filled the whole living room floor.

Next year I’ll get her one small gift.

It’s her loss - treasure your memories and sorry you’re going through this, been there ❤️

You should have taken them back.

What did your friend do and say?
