Let’s discuss shite that guests do at your home that just grind your gears.

I’ll start with over packing the kitchen trash, pushing it down until the bag is ready to tear and leaving lights/fans/tvs on when leaving the house.

I could choose to wad up my panties over every single thing my family/in-laws do while staying with me. I really could.

But instead I enjoy and bask in their presence and the warmth it fills my home, for they will be gone soon enough, not just from this house but from this earth. And it will all be too soon.

Choose joy and love. Or choose whatever you’re doing. I’m sure you have some awesome Netflix shows to watch. Either way, I hope you have a merry Christmas.

Little tip for the trash bags, I buy the 30 gallon bags for the 13 gallon can and I never have issues with it ripping or being overfilled.

You think you've got it bad, but think of your poor family who has to be around someone as petty as you.

Weirdly or not, I’ve never experienced that on either end.

They secretly hate you and dread being at your house (or having you at theirs). Hell, some of them will probably be along shortly in this thread to bitch about you leaving empty dip cans in the couch cushions.

I used to get pissed when my MIL would show up and immediately start cleaning. I don’t know what my problem was; I love it now.

This is the passive aggressive white boomer version of, “IMMA DO ME!”

All kidding aside, I agree with your initial post. As I’ve aged, I’ve learned to let a lot of shite go and also actively avoid associating with people I find irritating. Time is short so I try to enjoy the company for what it’s worth.

Family is more important than you being annoyed the lights being left on for a couple hours. Enjoy it while you can.
