A crappy Christmas?
 

Ut oh, It's happening again. What was supposed to be a small and quiet Christmas Day, all of a sudden has a good chance of going right down the s.hitter. My (POS) brother-in-law was supposed to be coming with my mother-in-law and his new GF (who's ok, but wears way to much perfume). Now all of a sudden he's bringing his 3 kids with him. After yesterday's Giants game, I didn't think that there was anything in the world that could take the shine off this weekend, guess what? All you people that have been looking for another time, might have just gotten your Christmas miracle at my expense.

Here's a list ofthe players again.
Not sure if this timeline will eventually fill out, but this is what I have so far.

1:15 Find out the bad news.
1:16-1:45-Do nothing but curse and bitch and moan about the pending disaster. I haven't cursed like that since, well yesterday when Eli manning through that interception at the 30 after the Jets fumbled on the goaline.
2:25- They just showed up and I hear yelling downstairs already.
Wish me luck, hopefully there isn't much more to this timeline.

You don't know ho good you have it.

Easy to say that from the outside looking in.

Quiet so far, Jay's in his usual spot on the couch. Nothing more than a few bangs and whines so far. I think I'm going to start to drink, kind of like a preemptive type thing.

This is going to wind up being post Christmas day headlines.



MAN BETS ON WRONG HORSEY,BLAMES VISITORS---SQUIRTS THEM WITH MUSTARD---21 HIT

Good luck Matt, we'll be watching. Tell Michael to distract him and then go for the nose. ;)

Thanks Tom

Still relatively quiet. The biggest pain in the ass so far is my brother-in-law. Acting lke a 5 year old by constantly asking when are we opening presents. Then making faces with every box he opens. Now it's the when are we eating questions. Also my mother-in-law almost incited a riot by giving out scratch off' to a bunch of kids 11 and under. Michael actually won $25 bucks. Thank God I found the ticket instead of my brother-in-law, it would have definitely taken a walk.

If anyone else is reading this...kill yourself;join me ,won't you?

If I knew that would have been the end result, I would have posted something a long time ago, even if I had to make it up............................

math...for future reference, do what tony and i did.

we're in biloxi-hours away from everyone!! great times. well, except for overpaying for lunch at the hard rock casino cafe. amazed at the casino crowd! didn't put a penny in a machine, just wandered around and left. i don't get how folks can sit in those for hours with all that noise.

You have been doing just that in the play alongs...which is why I quit reading it.

Dani, how old are your kids?

Things are starting to get interesting. Here are the hilights from 3:30-4:30
Jerkoff brother-in-law, moaning and making faces like a baby when almost everyone else wins on a scratch off tickets instead of him. i win $30 bucks and tell him i won a hundred just to piss him off evem more.

Then he proceeds to make faces when everyone compliments Mrs. Math on how good dinner is. To make matters worse he takes his plate of food and puts it in the microwave, claimimg it wasn't hot enough. Steam could be seen billowing out of the tray of lasagna and my head at the same time.

Mary's first contribution of the day, as she riles up all the kids to chase and try to beat up Timmy as the adults are still eating.

Children minus Mary seem to be playing nicely upstairs, she decides to go up and chaos ensues. Jay actually gets off his chair to see whats going on.

Jake is starting in with Michael, mostly name calling (they are calling each other stupid dummies). Then he takes a little swipe Mike. I witness the whole thing as Michael tells me hat happens. I tell Mike to hit him back and jake runs out of the room screamng and goes to hide.

For the most part it's still been better than expected, only damage has been to some cheap basketball game of Michaels and Matt's Eli Manning fathead in his room (whichis on t's last legs anyway).

I hear banging and some screaming going on right now, I'm going to investigate and freshen up my beverage........................

4:56 Jay sounds like he's having a meltdown, sounds like Jakes crying and my mother-in-law is mediating.

Merry Christmas to me.

I knew this was coming...

I can't wait for 7:05.



Let's watch.

Should be fun.

I guess you got home ok.


5:05- Mother-in-Law suggests we sing Happy Birthday to Jesus. I grab my glass and go upstairs :zz:.

5:12 Jay must be exhausted from watching and yelling at his kids for 4 minutes, he's asleep on my couch with his feet up.

Thankfully, Mrs. Math is working on dessert. I'm hoping I only have to endure 1 more hour of this crap.

Then life will be normal again for everyone and we can sit back and be amazed by Morty's facinating tales of imaginary boo bee's and Cleveland...................








THUD

5:19 Jakes up, there's more yelling. Even Roxanne has threw her hat in the ring.

5:34 Get this Jay has had enough. He rounds everyone up and next thing I know him and the clan are out of here without even saying goodbye. Adios, I guess he was tired of sitting on his ass in between gorging himself and complaining. He had had enough. :zz:

Time to survey the damage and help the Mrs. clean up.

:tro::tro:

7:06.



Very disappointed.

The big clean up is finally finished, the boys are showered and ready for bed. Damage was on the very minimal side. Looking back, the day was far better than expected. All in all the kids were really pretty good. The biggest pain in the ass turned out to be my brother-in-law. He's just a selfish jerkoff, but I knew that anyway. Didn't lift a finger all day. Not to mention all the complaining. Even when it came to cleaning up and putting away presents for his kids, he couldn't unattach his ass from my couch. I wonder if he even thanked his sister for cooking and inviting his sorry ass over. Thankfully he was only here for about 3 hours.
Looking forward to freshening up my beverage again and sitting down for some football.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. Please don't expect a New Year's Eve thread, thankfully it's an away game.................

I did miss this insipid remark.

Damn, I guess you didn't kill yourself..........................

Wow, looks like someone got a dictionary for Christmas................

they're all grown. but you can certainly escape with younger kids, we've done that too.
my belief is if you wouldn't put up with them the rest of the year, why ruin a holiday with them?

Unfortunately it's kind of a package deal between my mother-in-law/brother-in-law. He stays with her alot, because in her eyes he's the king and could do nothing wrong. So he gets away with leaving the kids there (when he has them) and she watches them while he goes out with his GF or stays there and lays on her couch.
It puts my wife in a very tough position, especially since she knows how I feel. Besides, many times she has the same beliefs about her brother as I do. She's upset that she killed herself fo nought. It's really not fair to either one of us (mainly her). I shouldn't have to police other people's kids in my house.

My main two gripes are, how about thanking your sister for hosting/cooking for you and your family. Just show a little graditude (even if you are making it up).
How about every once in a while you get your ass off my couch and make sure you kids are behaving.

I'm really not asking for much, it's just common courtesy.

yeah, i know what you mean. my brother is a loser. so i just have nothing to do with him. works so much easier that way. they won't change, so i decided it's not worth the aggravation.
it always makes me wonder...people make so much effort for those who just aren't worth it, while the normal folks get no attention. i'd imagine that's how it is for your wife with her mother.

Wow.



Looks like someone got a book of logic for Christmas.

A crappy Christmas?
 

All that was needed was for you to get into a political argument with your brother-in-law that would have ended with somebody getting one of those turkey forks jammed in their retina.

Glad that everything turned out the way it did.

One thing about Christmas; it's second only to Thanksgiving in potential intrafamily violence.


Ocala Mike

You're kind of new here Mike and mentioned Thanksgiving, so try this thread on for size.

Maybe Morty will really kill himself whn he sees this thread again.............

I saw this thread again.




Where's my wireless phone?

A creepy Christmas?
 

Love that thread! Thought my relatives were dysfunctional (on my wife's side, of course), but that stuff is priceless.

:tro::tro::tro::tro:


Ocala Mike

You been stalking Rita again..:eek: that's one of her words...:D

A crappy Christmas?
 

Thanks for the entertainment Mat, gave me a lift..

Highlight of my Chistmas was watching Hall Pass with my son late Christmas eve....a real side splitter...laughed so hard at a couple scenes i was gasping for air...a real ROTFLMAO...:D

I ddi'un know.

Use to use it a lot, but it gets old.I don't even know what it means, but it looks smart.

You're a sick man.

I know.:(..but i like to laugh...:D

!!



=5 is a lot funnier in the play along threads.

Why should Morty kill himself again?

Math, why not just make smart ass remarks and almost get to blows with the dude? It will show your kids your the man, show his kids not to **** up in your hood, and probably get you something forbidden from the wifey
