Turn on the TV during a meal without asking first. Decide they're going to just "whip something up" in the kitchen when they've been fed breakfast and lunch and Thanksgiving dinner preparations are underway. Make cellphone calls from the middle of a public area of the house while others are chatting. Announce that they never like x,y, and z while watching the host prepare x,y, and z.
Feel free to add to my list and vent. |
| Napping |
| Saying they're just going to take a quick shower when dinner is about to go onto the table. |
Damn! Napping is rude???? Maybe you are exhausting. |
| My husband ate 30 mins. before my roast was done. LOL. I don't care. Now he's napping. |
| Please! you don't want their company without a nap!! |
Yes, when my sister comes Over for lunch in the afternoon and is here for 5 hours, she doesn't need a nap. |
My sister should go home if she needs to nap. She isn't elderly nor is she an overnight guest. |
| Bringing tons more food than what we agreed you were going to bring. I already had most of these items. Don't get put out when I don't put your extraneous food out. Yes, I'm still making fresh mashed potatoes; no one wants the ones you made two days ago. |
I'm sorry but 5 hours? That sounds excessive. |
| Pulling up in a new Mercedes SUV with their 4 kids and all they brought was a cheap-o Kroger pumpkin pie. My husband and I spent over $1000 on this spread! |
$1000 really? That's ridiculous. If you wanted them to bring more ask. No one said you had to spend $1000. |
You're being petty. Did you ask them for a specific dollar amount? |
You did not. And if you spent that much AND are that much of a bean-counter, then chances are you live well outside your means and have tons of credit card debt. |
You think a five hour visit is excessive? You are kidding right? |
