i don't know what a pollyanna is? who is jay and how old is he? and now that it's beyond clear that your SILs are not good about time issues, tell them anything is a half hour earlier then it is, if you plan on having future contact with them. and may i suggest at christmas, you travel with your 4 in one car, your hubby inanother, so if HE wants to stay at his parents when the SILS go nuts again (and they will) you and yours can leave and go back to your home for an family celebration. ((HUGS)) to you, dysFUNctional familys' put the FUN in the holidays, almost

Don't even get me started about family. I am so fed up, nobody will even take my niece for a week so I can get my sanity back. I have had her for 4 months with not one offer of help of any kind. They just tell me to throw her out on the street....geez I wouldn't do that to an animal why would I do that to my niece.

when I was in another city they had a momma sanity program where parent could come and drop off their kids no charge for the day or even a week if they really needed a break, at no cost. It was in hopes of trying to prevent child abuse but I be your name gets on a list of something when you do it. But the state/city probably has some sort of service to help.

Jay is 21 and a major jerk. Totally selfish and out of control. For his polynana gift, which is like a secret santa, I jokingly told the kids that the only thing he'd have use for is marajuana or a new bong. He came over last week smelling so strongly of pot that we nearly choked on the thickness of it.

The other daughter was arguing as well (but I didn't mention her part of the story) is 3 months pregnant and has no idea who the father is - at least Ashley knew exactly who the father was and she had been dating him a year (never thought I'd say somethign nice about him! LOL) There she was, shooting off her mouth (as usual) where it didn't affect her.

tell them anything is a half hour earlier then it is

That is why Ash told then to be there at 12:00 instead of the 12:20 time.

Wow. What a fiasco. I think Heather had the right idea by getting up and walking out. No one has the right to berate anyone that way. I do hope the pictures came out nice though. Good friends are God's way of apologizing for bad relatives. Merry freaking Christmas, girlfriend!!

Hell I thought my crowd could be bad but oooohhhh mother what a mess - you and your family should just do your own thing in future and pardon my language but screw the rest of them. I myself have had it up to my neck with families. My mother is putting the guilts on me because I do not want to spend Christmas Day with her when my brother who is married is spending it with her and his wife is going to her parents for Christmas Day - ehhhh hello married couples should we not spend it together???????? We are all relatively newly weds my brother married this year and I last year so spending the day together should be - right????? I said I would come up and visit in the afternoon or the morning and she threw a wobbler but never mind your troubles are worse and if I was you I kick my husband in the rear end and get him to say something seeing as they are his family..........
