Announce that they got mascara all over your pillowcases but that "it can't be helped so you'll just have to be mad at me". My mom. Every time she stays. Her skin is supposedly too delicate for makeup remover of any kind. Sure.

If it tasted "well," why do you care how much it cost? Try to be gracious and appreciate hospitality instead of counting other people's money and side dishes.

I'm glad my ILs found you to visit this Thanksgiving instead of us!


My FIL doesn't sit on his IPhone, he sits on himself and looks like Donald T. (ass face).

The only cheap thing here is your attitude. Maybe she got lucky with a deal, a coupon and loyalty rewards, or whatever. Bottom line, it tasted good. You accepted her hospitality, then counted the number of side dishes she offered? Wow. What did YOU bring to the table?


Yep! I got a Butterball for about $8. Turkeys were very cheap and on sale this year. If you wanted an organic, free range, vegetarian turkey, you maybe shouldn't come to my Thanksgiving. Butterball is just fine!


NP. I don't mind the turkeys not being organic or free range, but it is a pity that they load them up on antibiotics to make them fatter and prevent diseases in the unsanitary poultry house.


Do you ever eat Doritos? Drink Diet Coke? Do you occasionally let your children have a Happy Meal? If so, stop. Really, stop. Unless you eat 100% clean and vegan, STOP.

And when I say we have brunch reservations at 10:30 and so we need to leave at 10, that doesn't mean roll out of bed at 10, insist you still need 90 minutes for shower, hair, and make-up, and then complain that we're leaving without you.

You're 30, not 13. Try to act like it once in a while.


Why didn't C someone tell her to "get off the phone and put your kid to bed" after, say, two hours?
Glad to hear you left without her for brunch. That's the right way to handle it!

But did the pan cost more than $8? If so, it's an egregious waste of money.


Bought it on sale, 7.99.

now priced at $11.99 for 6 lbs. We purchased one as there’s currently a $4 rebate which reduces the price to $7.99. Discount is valid from 11/11/16 to 11/17/16. Item number 26968.


Thank God. Without the $4 rebate you would have been a spendthrift jerk.


That was a good score pp.

That is why it is important to ALWAYS shop the sales and use coupons whenever possible. Wonderful dishes can go from extravagantly priced to affordable with one little coupon. Enjoy that delicious lasagna.


Is $11 extravagantly priced?


Yes. If you can buy the exact same thing for $4 less, $11 is too much.


So if there is a coupon somewhere out there in this world, it is extravagant to buy that thing?

What about promo codes?


If you are paying more than the person behind you in line is paying - you are paying too much.


Do you check their receipts?


I don't have to because I wouldn't be buying that lasagna unless it was on sale or I had a coupon for it.


The thing is, my time is worth more than $4 to to waste time looking for coupons and cutting them up. Sorry yours is not.

What if it was a 13 year old girl?]

Stay at hotel in front of neighborhood to have safe space for when they go loco. But only reserve said room 1 nite at a time. Expect you to reserve said hotel daily despite manager, daily, telling you there's no vacancy.

Also asking you to find flights daily to other U.S. and international destinations everyday with no intention to actually book.

Dont answer phone till 5pm and say "I'm at Tysons mall. I'm not done shopping but I will call you later when I am ready to be picked up." (during rush hour and dinnertime).

Come doused in a bottle of Chanel No. 5.



Who the heck was this?? Tell us more. This is nuts!

You need to google "boundaries" and "setting limits." Oh, and "Uber."


Yes, I have trouble with boundaries and limits.
