POLL: who do you dread seeing?

Now that it's the holidays... who are you dreading seeing?

 Well, it's going to be my first thanksgiving with DH's family. And I HATE BIL's GF. SHE SUCKS! All she does is whine, and yell at him in public. And act all territorial. At my wedding shower, she didn't even say hello to me... or congratulations at the wedding.... classy girl. ugh. 

Re: POLL: who do you dread seeing?

  • I'm not super siked for the holidays with DH's grandparents.  They mean well and are sweet, but are SUPER judgmental of DH, and I know it hurts him a lot.  Boooo!!

  • Wow! That sounds just like my BILs GF, and that who I was going to say! She only wanted to stay at my shower for a certain amount of time, so she made BIL drive around town for an hour and come back and pick her up because she didn't want to drive herself. And I didn't even talk to her (not once) at the wedding. Gah.
  • Ordinarily I dread seeing one of my aunts--my uncle's 3rd wife.  She means well and is very sweet, but has waay too much to say and almost none of it is relevant.  But I won't be seeing her this Christmas, yay.

    I'm more sad that I won't be seeing anyone else from my side, either.  DH's family doesn't really get into Christmas and I'm afraid I'll be really disappointed.

  • I got nothing.  There isn't anyone that I am dreading to see.

  • DH's parents. Last year they forgot we were coming and didn't have gifts for us to open. I know it huts DH that his parents don't really try. They also didn't get us a gift or even a card for the wedding!!
  • DH's parent's, they are really hard to deal with and they tend to make my skin crawl from time to time. (really its only his step mom) They are so rude they didn't even talk to me or say good bye when they left the reception so I am really not looking forward to seeing them.

  • Not really dreading seeing anyone. We are still working out how we are splitting up time on Christmas since we all live in the same area. Thanksgiving was easy since DH and FIL have to work on turkey day. I get along really well with DH's sister and cousins so I can't wait to see them. His cousins and I regularly go out without DH and have a good time together which I love that we could get so close.

  • My in-laws and one of DH's sisters. I don't mind DH's dad, but I can only handle his mother in small increments. She NEVER shuts up and unfortunately she never has anything important to say. One of his sisters doesn't like me (although DH says it's just my imagination) and so I always feel uncomfortable around her. When I try to have a convo with her she just kind of ignores me, and I swear I see her give me dirty looks out of the corner of my eye. She's always very sarcastic and I know she uses that as a cover to make nasty remarks to me- so it's not outright meanness, just passive aggressive jabs.
  • Totally not looking forward to seeing my sister and her husband.  Although, without them, I wouldn't be able to spend time with my only niece and nephew...so I supposed it's a necessary evil.

    She's a complete biitch who thinks she's better than everyone else.  I hate judgemental people.  She's held a grudge against me for things I "put my parents through" when I was a rebellious 16-year-old.  *rolls eyes*

    She's just extremely unpleasant and I'm glad she's leaving before me so I can have some quality time with my folks. 

  • I get my uncomfortable moment in just three days. We do thanksgiving at my aunts (fathers only sister). She ditched my wedding for a college reunion, ditched my brothers due to "weather" and we found out she's been holding a grudge against my mom for a decade. Now my mom is a B but this is the one time she dent do anything. Its a misunderstanding that my aunt let fester and now it blew up and mom isn't coming Thursday. I just have to remember to keep my mouth in check.
  • My sister is dating some random guy after a nine year marriage.  She's 24...he's 36.  It's weird to me and I don't want to see him at holiday events.
