I'll start. DH's grandmother was having a chat in the corner. She was telling someone that although we ( me and DH ) couldn't afford our wedding easily we had to get married when we did and couldnt delay it, otherwise I'd have been fighting my 'biological clock' and God forbid would have either had to have a baby before marriage or be an OLD MUM after! FWIW I am an old mum and proud lol I've had a fantastic life and career and now motherhood. So outrageous of me!! She has form for this and is still put out that despite her demands to pay for our wedding we did it ourselves. She brings it up at most events and smiles as she tellsnus how much better it could have been if we had taken her money. She is remarkably more polite when my sister is around ( because she would tell her to shut the fuck up lol ) so I know shes choosing to be this way. It was because I knew for the rest of my married life she would loudly announce the help she had given us to anyone who would listen, including probably my own poor parents at the expense of their feelings so now I think she tells herself we were poor to make herself feel better.. Luckily MIL is nothing like her and said 'you do talk some rubbish mum' and laughed it off. A bit later on she insisted we all watched her as she got her purse out and a wad of cash appeared for DH's sister and boyfriend who are recently engaged. Luckily his sister is a bit dim and said 'can you bank it and transfer me because nobody really uses cash nowadays' and the moment of heroism was slightly dampened as she said yes and put the cash away hahaha. She isn't a horrible person, just been a long few days!
Who did you have to put up with this year and what did they say? This is meant to be light hearted but if it's cathartic for you that's great too!
