Weekend vents

[awick14]

We invited MIL, FIL, SIL and her kids over for dinner. Which was fine until the ILs decided to also invite BIL. Just because BIL still lives at home (he's 34!) means we invite the ILs we also invite him?!?

I am so angry and getting stressed out over this. I'm probably just being emotional but I f'n hate BIL, and we no longer hold holidays here because we don't want him here. (Steals, disrespects both DH and I.)

I was unaware that he was coming so now I am making more potatoes at the last minute because I don't have enough of them.

Telling BIL to leave would just start too many problems, so we will go with it tonight. DH already told me that once we have eaten I can leave or whatever I want, which I will do. Me and the pup will go for a walk or something.

I may get flamed for this but I don't care.

Add your own.

Family issues are so stressful. My H has a strained relationship with his brother, so we avoid spending time with him too. I think how you feel is reasonable, considering that your BIL steals and is disrespectful. I wouldn't want someone like that in my house either. I'd be on edge the entire time. Just sit through the meal and then hopefully they leave soon. Any way your H can tactfully talk to his parents about this so that next time, BIL won't tag along?

[ewall]

Ugh, I know the history and totally understand being pissed about your BIL showing up uninvited.

My vent: I should go workout, but I DON'T WANNA! 

[estrellita]

I'm sorry awick14

No vents at the moment, just wish I could drink with BFF but I definitely won't complain about that!

[grover]

I'm bored and H is in a mood.

[travelbug]

I am at a super boring and no one to talk to at the rehearsal dinner. Dinner was kind of a bust... Don't know how much longer the bride will be.

awick14 ugh! How rude.. Id leave too. Don't even feel bad about that! You didn't invite him, you don't have to entertain him! I'm sorry you dinner wasn't what you planned!

[awick14]

@moonbeam- but but BIL is MILs baby..... How could we be so awful and mention anything about him to her!!

(Obviously I'm being sarcastic)

[awick14]

Thanx ladies! I feel bad for feeling like this but I don't care.

DH and I have already made our boundaries for when we have the little one and DH was the one to come up with them NOT me. Which is good.

[travelbug]

awick14 that's wonderful. My H and I are going to need to determine those things too. How great it was your H who came up with them!

jjwritergirl that really does sound like a dilemma! It shouldn't be to much longer now! ((Hooray))

awick14 I'm sorry. 

I can feel you on this. DH's grandma (his dad's mother) is awesome and we love her. Well FIL's sister/DH's aunt is 16(ish) years younger, so late 30s, and lives with her mother with the aunt's two children. Basically grandma does not get in invited to things because aunt always comes along and no one wants her there. I have problems with her because she has former drug problems (the same my dad has) and she has relapsed more recently which only DH and I know about. It's such a huge mess.

Yesterday I developed a cold, which ruined our plans for last night of going to see fireworks at our home days. I still feel like crap today. Tomorrow we were planning to go see the dog show and classic car show at the home days and now there are forecasting severe storms. Woohoo.

My H locked himself out of the house this morning while I was upstairs drying my hair. He was then all pissy at ME because it took me 5 to 10 minutes to figure it out. I heard his various banging about, but figured he was just messing with something. I'm sorry, but when you are essentially playing a game of Marco Polo in a 3,000 sq ft house, it's gonna take me a while to find you. Especially when you keep moving around and are not standing anywhere that I can see you from upstairs windows.

Did he not ring the doorbell?

We don't have one But the sensible thing to do would be to keep knocking on the front door until I heard him. Not stand in the backyard flailing his arms about in an attempt to send a SOS.

Lol, this is defiantly something DH would do.

Possible (but not likely) BFP warning:

I am freaking out because I got a line on a pregnancy test last night, didn't get one this morning and then got one again just now. But it could be the trigger shot. I am 10DPO, 12 days past trigger. Google tells me it should be out after 11 days, but it's not an exact science because it depends on people's metabolic rates.

I am beside myself over here and JUST NEED TO KNOW. Beta is Monday.

HOLY CRAP! FX! 

[HoneySpider]

krystee Ahh! FX! Now I just need to know also!

[ewall]

krystee that was a "I'm so excited!" holy crap. In case that wasn't clear

[Deleted]

Fingers crossed krystee!!!!!

[awick14]

Holy F!!!!!!! krystee!!!!!

[katiek]

Fingers crossed krystee! I'm sorry you have to wait, though!

[krystee]

Thanks everyone! I keep switching back and forth between being convinced it's the trigger and thinking it's real. I really should have just waited until Monday.

[awick14]

jjwritergirl- ((hugs))

[awick14]

krystee- maybe the first one was the trigger, the second one was like nope not pregnant. Then the third one was like PREGNANT!!!!

[HoneySpider]

Sorry jjwritergirl I've had that happen too, I get really over-invested in things a lot, usually because it's the principle of it.
