Okay, normally I am all-aboard the let's bash religion train, but you have sounded kind of weird lately. Not sure how you don't 'get' the difficult family thing. As an educator, perhaps you should try harder to put yourself in someone else's shoes. Might help.
I just find it sad, that people dislike their their families so much.
It is not about disliking them. I love my mother to death, I just usually want to kill her within an hour of her visit. She just drives people to violence, lol
Joenali has always been a bit strange, if I'm remembering her correctly from the nest. I don't recall specifics but I know she's been called out before.
Anyway, I love my family and h's family but I can only take so much of them usually. Mil is staying with us tonight, but otherwise we've had no guests and have stayed in our own home for the holidays this year so there hasn't been any issues.

I suppose it's sad, but it's not always the first choice to be angry with family. Frustrations, annoyances happen. Not all families are easy to be a part of, unfortunately.

Exactly. I invited her here and have been going to great lengths to give her a nice time because she never gets to do anything fun and I want her to enjoy herself, have some nice experiences and be happy.
That doesn't make her easy to live with for a week.

My in-laws are saints compared to my mother. My mom didn't answer phone calls yesterday and was supposed to make.mushroom soup so we had no idea what time or if she was coming for xmas eve dinnet, she showed up at 6:45 as we were finishing dinner with no mention of mushroom soup. Lucky for her we had clam chowder as a back up.
Then we are finishing the wrapping for my nieces and she is going through all the bags asking who things are for instead of helping or asking us what she can do. (I know.she doesn't have to but it would have been easier to mask her noseyeness if she did it that way).
Then she.proceeded to tell me that I have wrinkles just like her and look just like her. Fucking thanks I'm already self conscious enough about my skin, I didn't need you to point out my problems.
Another 1.5 days of DD trying to Alpha mother to her girls who are in my (and DH's) custody. XH is at the stage where she can't be told they are there because he and his wife just can't or don't want to deal with it.
