I salute each and everyone of you who put up with stupid, unreasonable, snotty realatives in every way shape and form.

I don't have to do it often, I have manage to keep my little family to ourselves and only visit those we like and who in turn like us.

Respect to all that manage to stop themselves screaming and crying at the little remarks and digs that wear you down over visits.

I survived this weekend and I wanted to salute all that do it on a regular basis.

Thanks ....In anticipation of many more needed as well as wine when my parents move down to be nearer us this summer.....

Thank you for making me smile, I've got the proper arse today!

(Have a thread going at the moment about my martyr of a mother )

You are very welcome Miss

You area a better person then I am because I have managed to be ignored by my seperated parents for the last few years.

This weekend my dad has decided he may actually like my now nearly grown DC and has booked to join us on our family holiday wtf

You are, not area

For you MyDog Great name btw.

Fortunatly my mother wasn't there, it was fortunate because my aunt takes that role in robust and monitors my every move or lack of it. A holiday should'nt include DH looking after OUR DC whilst I read or have a sneaky gin because he works very hard even though she didn't know I have been back to work full time for a good few years now

Sorry massive fail, I got the date my sister was coming wrong and gave her a mouthful for hurtful comments.

Both my fault. I wasn't really paying attention when she rang to organise her visit. DDs making life complicated.

Hurtful comments quite true, but unnecessary. She's fed up, no DH, no DCs, too old now and stuck looking after nice but aged parents. Works for the public service so her salary, peanuts to start with, is frozen.

I just wasn't in the mood for being used to let of steam.

Here you go Star you can't take it all the time - DSis not of course

I did 3 days and cried last night - not to their face but on DH, how can people not realise how nasty they come across or do they just not care??

Why thank you, t'is all true, I sellotaped it back together and used it to pay for a taxi

I cried for 3 hours straight this morning until I got a good ol' MN kick up the bum! I heartily recommend it!

You're a star in my world myDog

Thanks for the , DSIS really needs it more than me.
