Do they need any help?  Would send my MIL in a heartbeat. 

Thought it was all cool until my 18 year old told his grandmother he wasn't sure if he could come to Christmas because he had to watch the neighbor's cat.

I know the running joke about in-laws but Goddamn my in-laws are so much more awesome and appreciative of me than my own family in the last few years, especially at Christmas. I'm so fucking tired of trying to make plans with my family and I'm basically the sloppy seconds of planning like I'm still 23 and single... "oh he'll figure it out".. no assholes -  I have a family and I can't just acquiesce to all of your stupid bullshit. Include me on the family planning discussion. Then they ask why they never see me or my kids. Meanwhile my wife's parents go out of their way constantly to make sure everyone is accounted for and thought of. Just really makes you realize how shitty your family is when you marry into a good one.

I cant count how many holidays my parents insisted everyone come to their tiny house and wouldn't have a fucking thing to eat, drink, etc. Those gatherings lasted about an hour before everyone would leave to eat at an Indian or Chinese restaurant. I'd go to a friends where they already had a place set for me.

My kids are grown and out of the house, one in another state. Both have kids of their own. My sister has been making some comments about how it isn't fair that they don't get to see my grandkids, and how my dad isn't doing well, blah blah. My sister's kids are losers and don't have (and will never have) kids of their own, which means my grandchildren are the closest she's ever going to get. I have told her and my dad that I can't control where my kids are on Christmas or thanksgiving or whatever holiday. We either have to have multiple get togethers or go without. Nobody wins and I have to hear about it.

Whoever said upthread that I'd enjoy the Lindsey Stirling show was wrong. That was just some goofball shit. Jazzercise + violin carols + lighting designed to blind the audience. For 2 hours. They tried to Cirque de Soleil it at the end & congrats to the acrobats I guess. And there was like a 15 minute "audience participation" bit when she was filming content for her Insta page.

To each their own, but watching someone bop around a stage while they air violin ain't my cup of tea. 8146cb4b23675460d3be86c6dc76541c.jpg15d362253e3e9a97dd8d76c380feeb9b.jpg
