MIL talks all the time, non-stop, interrupts sentences to burst forth with a random thought or question. Ask a question and before someone can say 3 words it’s on to something else or turns to talk to another person and you are left hanging finishing the sentence on deaf ears. . Grrrrr

However I love her a lot and will just let her do her thing and I’ll enjoy the company!

My MIL is horrible - my husband knows this - and a few years ago told all of them to stop coming over for holidays

So now he has to ‘only’ deal with my quirky family - but he says it’s better for his sanity that way - I don’t complain

Put a couple of these near the dogs kennels/beds/in their rooms without telling the old ladies:

When dogs bark it emits a high pitched tone that only dogs can hear and it annoys them to where they stop barking. We used this to train our dog to stop barking indoors.

This is one of the trashiest sentences I've ever read on here.

My mom and her 3 sisters are all crazies. But they're great and I still love them even though they're certifiable... except for the youngest of the 4 (not my mom)

My aunt is the single most annoying woman on the planet with no common sense and a voice that is like nails on a chalk board. She calls me and texts me all the time with pointless questions. I can screen calls and texts.

It's much harder to screen her when she's in my house for the big family Christmas gathering.

I in general love the holidays. I love spending time with family and seeing people that I don't usually get to see


Ya, see that's the thing that drives me nuts. I don't see these people all and I'm perfectly fine with it (excluding my immediate family). But I am guilt tripped into going to 5 different thanksgiving/christmas for each side of each family.... and If I even mention not going I'm chastised for it.

Is it so wrong for me to want to spend that day at home smoking a turkey and being thankful for my close family and not acting like I care about my other psychotic extended family.

Just let me eat, drink and watch football in peace.

See frick that right there. My parents got divorced and dragged me to the corners of everywhere to say THEY HAD ME FOR _______HOLIDAY. It made me hate holidays, especially Christmas. I vowed that shite would never be forced on my family. When I moved away from home I would guilting calls from my grandma about how long it's been since I've been in for Christmas...sorry don't care...I'll spend plenty of quality time with you when I am in. Just about every Thanksgiving my MIL starts the subtle guilt...well might be nice to see yall christmas day too....No, sorry we'll be at home enjoying the day. Don't have kids yet, but that is one of the things I am 100% firm on and my wife has come to support me...we..especially not my kids, are not going to be subjected to the bullshite practice of going to 5 households in a day to make everyone happy. Long rant, but it's one of those things I feel strong as frick about

No it's not....the day I decided to not give a shite about guilt tripping and doing what made me and my wife happy on Christmas was an amazing day

MiL insists on putting rice in her green bean casserole and it’s the worst thing ever but you gotta be nice and put a little in your plate. The whole family talks about it but nobody ever says anything to her about it.

Thank goodness she’s a China Flu Karen and we’re going to my parents this year.

Brotha, I only lucked into finding this amazing place within the last year, but I totally feel like that is directly in the wheelhouse of trashy round these parts.

My former MIL (thank you Jesus) would sit down with us in the living room with 5 minutes left in a 3 hour movie and want to know what's going on.

it's one of those thin stinking POS.
So, a joint.

My kids learned six or seven years ago, that daddy is going away for Thanksgiving. I go to Hot Springs, Arkansas every year to wheel with my buddies.

They all pitched a fit the first couple of years, but now it’s accepted as a normal thing. I’m thankful every year that I don’t have a house full of kids, parents and in-laws. I get high, wheel my Jeep up stupidly, insane obstacles and not give a frick what the rest of the world or family has to say about Thanksgiving dinner.

Them motherfrickers more than make up for it at Christmas dinner, though.

My uncle always masterbates at the dinner table and then splooges on the mashed potatoes before they are served.

We just chalk it up to him being ‘quirky’...
