Official Christmas eve/day family fight thread

The three troublemakers in my family have all died in the last two years. I expect peace and boredom. I might have to make some trouble of my own just to spice things up. Blue can already opened.

We haven't had a big extended family Christmas since my grandparents were alive. We just have a get together with immediate family which is usually drama free.

‘Rona has mitigated any potential friction in my family.

eta: one family member became symptomatic last night canceling any gatherings.

I have two uncles who are deaf/gay/super Democrat who I think will cause problems.

I'd have to take a refresher course on my sign language so I could talk shite and get them wound up. That sounds like fun.

The only disruptions here are 3 dogs tumbling thru the house. 2 50lbs and one 5 lbs. Play play bark repeat!
Merry Christmas OT!

This our second Christmas without my Mom. She passed the second week of December last year, in hospice at my parent’s house, from metastatic breast cancer. I think last year I was just so fricking numb and going through the motions that I didn’t feel everything. Well, I’m certainly feeling it this year.

And my Dad is being a holy fricking terror. He’s been telling our family that I’ve abandoned him because I don’t come by the house everyday (he lives about 10 minutes from me, I check in when I can around work and school, and he was literally at my house last week for dinner). He’s angry with me that instead of just taking over the cooking, cleaning, and paying bills that my Mom did I’ve forced him to do those things himself (and taught him how do some of that as well). He was totally dependent on her and has said some really awful shite because I refuse to step in to do what my Mom did because he’s more than mentally and physically capable of doing it himself.

I’ve had a hard time going back to the house because it’s where my Mom died (and without her it doesn’t feel like home to me) and he’s just miserable to be around. We never had a good relationship, he was physically abusive to me when I was younger, and he’s very self-centered. I don’t want to discount that he lost his spouse but to him his grief is far greater than anyone else’s and his needs should come before everything else (forget I lost my Mom and best friend and my Grandmother lost her daughter).

I’ve found I’m just really pissed off this Christmas because of it. And today he’s actively trying to ruin me going over to my SO’s family’s stuff before I come back to my house to cook Christmas Eve dinner for him and my Grandmother (Maternal).
