SOS - Thanksgiving Edition

[mae0111]

We went to visit my MIL, dinner at BIL and SIL's house 5 mins from MIL (MIL and SIL are lovely, BIL is fun but a drunk).

We arrived at noon Wednesday, DH started drinking about 2 hours later, has stopped only to sleep. He's been drunk since Wed afternoon.

Today, DH went to meet some friends for lunch at noon, and he dropped me and the kids off st SILs house. Both BILs left as I arrived, saying they were stopping for a beer, picking something up at Home Depot, then grabbing a kickball to take all 8 kids to a local school for a big kickball game. This was at 11:45.

Instead, all 3 brothers met up, got tanked, and finally came home after 5, after the sun went down. The kids were so upset by around 3, when they figured out that they weren't coming home. So SIL and I went out and played a game of kickball with them in the back yard. I wore boots. My feet are killing me.

DH and I had a discussion recently about him not sticking me with the kids all weekend. He did it again. We are leaving tomorrow morning, and when we get home, he will be lucky if he sees me for the rest of the weekend.

I am so far beyond pissed that I don't know how I come back from this.

Ugh I'm sorry.

Wow, I'm sorry. Book a massage for when you get home to treat yourself.

Oh man. I cannot even. Drunk people annoy me under the best of circumstances. Those are not the best of circumstances.

Oh damn. It's one thing to go into a trip like that expecting him to not be around much like if it was for a wedding or something. But to do the exact thing that you asked that he not do is so shitty. I'm sorry.

I am so sorry. He was a dick to you and the kids. I'm also worried about what sounds like a lot of drinking and driving. Does your H have a problem with drinking when not around BIL? Does he typically drive irresponsibly?
