Here's what cheezed me off today

I vote this Best title for a topic! That's all, just wanted to say😂

Rohanna, the new kitten is named Grace. She’s a grey Tabby.

Mommyof2, I refer to people like that, who get their rocks off ruining other people's fun, as turds in the punchbowl of life.

Dictatorial, perfect word for a situation I experienced recently. Turds in the punchbowl of life works too. I like “suck the joy”. Why does it always happen at Thanksgiving time?

Interesting about parents not accepting the spouse. My son-in-law's mother said her family didn't accept her husband (different ethnicity) until she had a son. Then they had to be nice to see the son. My daughter-in-law's family didn't accept my son until she developed thyroid cancer and he was beside her at every step. I think it's just dumb. I met my mother-in-law when I was 6 mos pregnant. She opened her arms and hugged me saying welcome. I would have walked on water for her.

Seems one of my jerk bil’s is coming for a visit on the 29th, with 2 of his kids. This is the one that said he thought he better come for DD wedding since DH went north for all 3 of his kids.

Thank Dog they are staying on the beach!! I don’t have room anyway. Lucky DD has an important gig that night with the Piano Guys, and will escape the in-laws.

And DH hasn’t said a word to me about this visit. I wish I could disappear.

you go girl😎😎.

Yep! Hubby was going to go over to his parents for a bit tomorrow without me and say that I was sick, but he isn't feeling so well now. So tomorrow is going to be a quiet day at home for us and the furbabies. He said he's is going to help me with the cooking.

Mommyof2 - my in-laws liked my husband’s X. She wasn’t as outspoken as I am so I’m sure they liked that. However, she also cheated on my husband. She called him home from work one day so he could find her in the sack with someone. Despicable. Anyway apparently my MIL and FIL didn’t know the gory details and my husband refused to spill his guts in court. He didn’t want to hurt his 3 sons.

I finally told my MIL the whole sordid truth when she was railing on my husband about visiting his sons. To top it off she continued to invite her to every family function. Once in a while okay she’s the mother of their grandkids but all the time? Make no mistake I let her know that too. I said I wouldn’t be there if she was.

My husband and his sibs just let my MIL run roughshod over them so they never spoke up about anything. I sure did.

It’s hard enough to have a good marriage without in law interference. My parents never interfered. Our spouses shouldn’t be put in the middle.

Nothing to be too cheezed about (unless you get into politics, which I won't). Last year I was with my husband, two children and my mom at her memory care community for Thanksgiving. They had a terrific dinner with music and a lot of joy. I'm glad mom had the last months of her life at this great place down the street from me. Mom passed at 86 in May of this year so I have just passed the 6 month mark. She still knew who I was and still had her sense of humor. I am so glad she more or less passed because it simply was her time. A quick hospital visit after having a fever for a week and then back home on Hospice for 6 days. I suppose I should be happy how everything went in the end, but I'm missing her today.

This is a day for missing loved ones, isn't it? Most of us have memories of big Thanksgiving dinners, at least when we were children. I remember a Thanksgiving when my uncle was first married. They hosted and everything had been caught or shot by my uncle. I remember how small a quail wishbone was.

This year it was just Hubby and me and our adult son. My Mom died last January, my niece and nephew have enough to juggle between going to their dad's and their in-laws and placating their mom (my sister), who will spend time with them this weekend. The weather is lovely for this time of year, so we wrapped all our food in foil and had a picnic at a local park. We invited my sister, but after dithering for a few days, she declined, because she can't have a pity party if she's having a good time. Yeah, she's one of those. She's been driving me nuts forever, but it's worse this year - like when I told her I had cancer, she said at least I didn't have to deal with Mom's lawyer. Now I'm doing radiation, which I've barely mentioned to her, and she goes on and on about how tired she is. She's a hypochondriac who refused to see a doctor, not the kind of person I have any patience with right now. So we had a lovely day without her!

Sorry to hear about the radiation. The last thing I wanted back then was anyone who was a downer around me. Rads was even harder then chemo as it was every day for 6 weeks. The drive back and forth was a drag and normally tired just wasn't something I do... rads wiped me out. Glad you had a nice day Alice.

Narcissistic maybe? Mine is proud of being shallow and uncivil too. I’m not going to knock my head against that wall anymore.

And I suppose nothing happens to her? Like cancer or other hardship? Is she living the good life? Fair weather friends are gone in an instant, especially if they are keeping their distance.
