  1. Your SIL sounds like a piece of work.  No doubt training your niece to be the same.  I'm guessing her husband is one sad, henpecked SOB.
    He's aggy so.....

    Actually he's done quite well for himself & definitely wears the pants. Short man complex but is generally an ok guy. Living almost as vicariously thru his teenage son's sports exploits as his wife is their daughter's stuff.
  2. My wife warned me after we went to her other niece's (no pics) graduation last year that this year would be hell. Older niece is their older brother's kid, and she knew her sis was going to do everything to show up her brother and especially his wife.

    Last year was a simple catered lunch with extended family on Saturday afternoon (grad ceremony was Friday night w/ limited seating so we were spared).

    I just want to send the niece a card with a nice check and say "congrats, get out of the house asap" but that's not gonna work. I'm already dreading the show they'll put on when she gets married someday.

    since they're twins just post pics of your wife.

    They're not identical, but looked so similar growing up most people assumed they were. Mrs. Ghost is much hotter now in adulthood (primarily because she didn't squeeze out 2 kids a la her sister; never quite lost the baby weight).

    Oh and the niece (definitely no pics) is a cheerleader & debutante. Every weekend she's not at a game or competition she's at a ball or gala. She seems to be down to earth (my wife texted her a few weeks ago to get the inside scoop on graduation; niece really didn't give a shit & just wanted to party with her friends), but they've definitely created their own little princess that some guy is gonna have to manage down the road.

    I was thinking back to my HS graduation 30 years ago. All I wanted was to get through the ceremony without dying of heat stroke, get through the family meal as quickly as possible (made extra awkward as my dad & his 2nd wife were going through a nasty divorce), get a blowjob from my GF & then go out to Volente where a friend's parents let him use their lake house for a party for 70 or so grads. Shit, they even bought the beer! They'd be in jail for that nowadays.

  4. And the fake bullshit drama begins! Whatever happened to doing your duty by sitting through the horrible commencement followed by a simple family bbq then letting the grad go have fun with their high school friends? When did shit become one event after the other to fluff the egos of the parents?

    Niece graduates in June. SIL is trying to guilt my wife (her twin sis; no pics) into spending 4-5 nights in Spring as part of her daughter's graduation week (WTF) celebration. Festivities include:

    • 3 dinners, 2 brunches and a formal "afternoon tea" between Wed and Fri
    • Nail/Spa day for the girls
    • Professional photo sitting

    And other bullshit "fun" things all designed for SIL to show off her money & her friends with money. Now her sis is trying to hit her with bullshit guilt texts. My wife knows her sis all too well & isn't falling for it.

    To make things worse, niece is going to ou in the fall. 

    tl;dr -- high school graduation ceremonies suck sweaty donkey balls.

    Pet owners that don't pick up after their pets should be executed.

    Mother fucking this. We walk our dog at least 3X a day and pick up her poo but usually one or two piles from the assholes who don't. About the only thing more infuriating than the fucktards who don't pick up after their dogs are the ones who go through the effort of bagging the shit and then LEAVE THE FUCKING BAG ON THE CURB! What the ever loving fuck? Are they saying "hey neighbor, I'm awesome & didn't leave my dog's shit in your yard, but I want you to pick up this bag of stinky shit & put it in your bin until trash day next week.
