Re: situation
Can’t believe I’m saying this as I am not a menist, but it works the other way too. We have 6 people - one of whom is a disabled child and unruly and destructive - coming to stay with us for the holidays. Best part is - they still have to figure out when they’re going back so I don’t know how long they’ll be here. Which means both my parents are in the kitchen cooking. My sister is left to entertain the kids. Which she doesn’t want any noise because she jus got done with a tough semester. And it’s totally comical to see my dad’s pareshaani because he absolutely hates my mom’s brother. Today he says to me - out house isn’t built to handle 10 people…
Last time this family was here, one son kicked the closet door and destroyed it playing imaginary judo. That cost us 200 dollars to replace. The other son - the disabled one - pooped on mu carpet, and pulled off my mom’s wallpaper.
The other day, i found my mom just staring at that part of the wall with a total worried look on her face…I was like, he’s older now and maybe he has more control. She was like…I don’t think so…
I think my dad us ready to burst with annoyance over so many inlaws coming over. And they’re not even here yet.
The whole family is jealous of me because I’ll be off at work during the holidays and so I won’t see like 70 percent of the shenanigans .
Mamaof3. - just think how differently you’d be reacting if these were your blood relatives. You’d probably be more excited. Just think of this as a cause for celebration. You are sounding more and more like a Pakistani aunty :k:
