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 mother who refused to come to my house because of her worsening health (fair enough) meaning I had to visit her.

She informed me that I had to clean her kitchen of the terrible black mold infestation. I did that, stripping the lining from my lungs and making my eyes water like crazy. Then she told me I looked really old (because my eyes are red) and my voice sounds weird (because the anti-mold stuff dried out my throat).

Then she kept referring to my husband (DP of 20 years, DH of 11 years) as my ex-boyfriend's name.

Then she barked ridiculous instructions at me and called me a "stupid cow" as I was getting equipment ready to clip her toenails.

Then as I was leaving she asked me "Do you want any cheese? I've got far too much and I won't use it" after I bought her a cheese hamper for her Christmas present.

So, that was very nice.

Usually because getting away would impact other people negatively.

I got away, we only have one life

Deleting post! Wrong thread

I know this is off topic but i wanted to share something i was taught when i did “Dementia Friend” training… emotions remain even if the person has forgotten the event. So although your mum may forget being with her family and having a good Christmas she will still feel happy from the nice time she’s had x

DH's family being loud and excited about his cousins wedding (all paid for and over the top) when his other cousin who can't afford hers and has been engaged forever was sat in the same room, then asking her why she hasn't got on with planning hers like money frows on trees. So thick and insensitive.

My uncle. I can't forgive his poor hygeine. He took his shoes off the first nignt and immediately apologised for his smelly feet! I honestly thought we'd brought the cheese board out early 🤢 meanwhile DH is silenty laughing uncontrollably 🤣🧀

DSS (30) who stayed for a few days... never showered, changed his clothes or brushed his teeth for the whole time he was here. Didn't get out of bed until gone lunchtime, simply sat on the sofa and stared at the TV. expected to be waited on hand and foot and as usual never gave me, his dad or my children a gift!

Ex h. Horrible to me. Unforgivable towards our children.

My df, I love him to bits but I realise that as he's now in his 70s he's turning into a bit of a racist, sexist grumpy old man, who packages up his inappropriate comments as humour. I don't see him very often as he lives a fair few hours away but after 5 days I was struggling to bite my tongue

Was just going to put this... But then add, that with all the coughing day and night and very few mouth covering occasions, I now have the bloody thing too! Happy fecking New Year to me! 🙄

Deleted as answered

Yes thank you. I am the worse person in the world but I have it back.

My 16 YO stepson who agreed weeks before that he was coming to us for Christmas (24th - 28th) this year.

SS messages my DH at 10pm the night before he was due over to say he won’t be coming.

DH is upset (actually that’s an understatement) but has been putting on a brave face to family & friends who have asking where he is.

He then said he’d come on the 29th (today). Husband chases him to see what time he’s coming over, at 3pm he sends a text ‘not today, maybe tomorrow’.

I’m so done with being a stepparent. Absolutely thankless task.

Aww reading all these comments, just makes me miss my mum and dad more. My mum was adorable and loved coming for Christmas. Either DH or I would pick her up in the morning, then she'd have a brew when she got here, I'd plonk her in front of the tv with the remote and any offers of help I'd decline. She would be so grateful for absolutely everything, from cups of tea, drinks, the meal and the lift back home. She was an absolute treasure to have around. Dad used to go to his partners family (mum and dad had been divorced since 1980) but we always spoke on the phone Christmas morning. And I saw him all the time.
I'm so sorry that a lot of you have absolutely shocking parents and family. I count myself blessed that I had lovely parents. 💐

My mum did the same a few years ago. Things have never been the same since. Saw her briefly before Christmas but she told us it was too much for her to have us visit over the festive period and chose to have a quiet one with her boyfriend. Didn't even do presents for the kids.
DH annoyed me as I was left to host his parents and as he's still recovering from a bout of man flu, he didn't lift a finger. Too worn out and tired.
Plus the kids bickered their way through Christmas. I'm actually glad it's over. Definitely getting Grinchy in my middle age!

You're not and if they think it, their opinion is worth nothing.

😱 did you get your gift back??

We were very lucky as generally pretty happy all Christmas. Only two niggles, my dad grumbled through the first half of Santa Claus the Movie, then declared it tedious and switched it off. And tightarse DB who thinks it's acceptable to spend £30 total on my three kids while I spent £30 on his son.

My mother in law, whenever she disapproves or is disinterested she does a long and winding "hummmmmmm" sound, it's soo annoying

My DB and his new girlfriend. I cooked Xmas dinner for 9, and they ate without even a thank you or any comment on whether they enjoyed the food I spent 5 hours preparing. They spent most of the 5 days we all spent together in their room napping, while me, my husband and DM cleaned up after everyone.

They walked past us without saying hello sometimes and anything we talked about DB had to have a go about how he we were all wrong in a very patronizing way, and at one point even had the nerve to call me 2 faced (even though he's the most 2 faced person I can think of, after cheating on his last GF with his best friend's sister when said sister was 16 and he 21 - he's arrogant and incredibly full of himself but thinks he is God's gift to the world)

A relative who is known for taking things too far was asked to leave. We can't have any alcohol in the house because he will binge it, then start trying to get hold of drugs. Then he will go into a depressed mood and cry a lot, like sob like a baby.

Turns out he had stashed drink behind the bins and his behaviour was becoming strange so we clocked on. He was booted out Christmas Eve night

I don't do drugs, nobody else does drugs in my family. He comes from the side of the family who have money and has everything handed to him on a plate. It's do disrespectful and disgusting. He spent Christmas on his own. He was only here because not a single family member speaks to him anymore and I felt guilty.

I hate people who do this with a passion.

My brother did it last year. I got a whooping cough thing, was proper ill all January and then still coughing until end of March.

Shooting's too good for 'em ☹️

The dreaded in-laws who decided after we had traveled over 130miles that they thought the traveling was too much for us and Christmas was canceled and to come back on the 27th....this didn't happen and we haven't spoken to then since and wont be any time soon. we have 4 children who would of happily stayed at home playing while me and Dh cooked.
