The Mad Chatters thread Part 10

[paigevz]

Maybe you all should just head somewhere more peaceful .....I hope the fight is not about drinks. How was DH's family?

I feel obligated, since mom went to all the trouble to get herself up there, and she's still hurt............but next year is a different story.

No, the fight, well..............do you have time for the rant or shall I save it?


Hey Granny, we went out for a bit. We drove over to our college town. Visited some old haunts and houses, the campus............had a great time with memories. Shared with our two sons, it was nice. We did shop there just a bit, not much.

We did our family pictures at the park. And my SIL and I had to sit in the grass in our dress clothes. I wish she had brought a cloth to sit on I hate having group pictures taken.

If you can post them when you get them I would love to see your boys again, they are super cute. We had a good slow day. We needed it.

I don't have a scanner.........

ETA bu thanks for the compliment on behalf of the boys!

Okay, mom calls and asks can Big Son be the bingo caller as we're going to play black out bingo. I said sure. She said whoever wins it doesn't have to take a number for a turn in Dirty Santa and can choose any of the gifts they want. I say, well, he's in Dirty Santa this year. She's like, he can't be in it, it's for the grown-ups. I told her Kally was in it last year at his age, and both mom and I had promised it to him last year for this year. He's bought a gift for it and he wants to do it. So she says he can't, as he was int he children's drawing gifts. I said, what do the drawing gifts (everyone has someone's name and buys for them) have to do with Dirty Santa? They're two separate gifts. She says, you can't be int he children's drawing and play Dirty Santa. I reminded her again, he'd been promised and had looked forward to it for a whole year. So finally she says okay and he can still call the Bingo if he doesn't want to play the blackout.

Then she calls me back. My cousin is bringing a new stepgranddaughter. SGD is 12. If Big Son will be in Dirty Santa, then so should SGD. Okay, what's the problem? They don't want SGD in it. So don't put her in right? No, they want Big Son OUT of it. They say if they put in SGD then nephew who is 9 will want to do it, because he THINKS he's as big as SGD. Well, he's not, right? Tell him no. They don't want to do that. I said, that's ridiculous Little Son THINKS he's as big as Big son, but I don't insist he do the same things. So finally, they very generously decide Big Son CAN be in Dirty Santa, but since they don't want SGD in, they want HER to call the bingo. Again, my son has been told he will be the caller. Fine, then, I"ll disappoint my kid so they can get what they want. AAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!

Rant over. And we aren't going next year.

Ahhh...family, can't live without 'em...can't shoot 'em.

 

[paigevz]

Hiya R2.......oh, but that's not it.

Then she calls back. They've made stocking for all the kids stuffed with toys. But for the 12 and 13 year olds they made smaller ones. But Big Son has a big one like the little kids. Now mom is afraid a stink will be made about that.

I told her keep the thing, give it to him before or after, don't give it to him. Whatever. He doesn't need it. No, she's going to EXPLAIN it to them............like that's going to go over real well.

12 Flippin' calls today.

Now I'm really done.

 

[MinnyGranny62]

Good grief Paige ....Think that I would come up with something not to go this year. Sorry, hope thing turn out ok.

Okay...let me see if I can get this straight...

They want Big Son to be with the kids on the exchange (even though he was promised something else last year)...but he's one of the "big kids" for the stockings, but really he's just a little 'un because he got a big stocking??

Paige...I would explain it as best you can to your son, he's probably a bit more logical than all this!

 

[paigevz]

It's something like this every year. And that's secondary to the whole drinks issue, which WILL be brought up tomorrow too.

He won't even notice any of it, so I"m not worried about that. Unless somebody says something to him. Or throws a fit and screams about it and storms off leaving the party..........which has happened over less.

Come on over to our house....there will only be 8 of us. And we have a very nice time with no yelling but maybe a few drinkies.

Good thing your kids have you...to be a calm (sane) voice in all the

 

[paigevz]

I'll survive the stupid day, but my son is getting big enough to notice this junk and I'm about done with it.

So, that's it. Sorry guys. Had to get it out there.................
