I agree completely..instead of loading kids and presents for the road trip, they come watch you bulid Christmas memories for your kids that you never experienced. Rite of passage.

I'm looking forward to this Christmas. Tomorrow I'm cooking all the food so I know it'll be good. Got a 17 pound turkey in brine getting ready for the smoker. Plus since it's at my house, there will be plenty of booze, inlaws be damned. Later in the day, 2 of my grandbabies are coming over and will be here for the weekend. It's shaping up to be a great Christmas.

I try to give as much as I can especially if family is doing the guilt trip thing.

I have a brother-in-law and sister in law who live in their own bubble. Here is what they do that annnoys me. They bring in-side dogs...an annoying, bitchy, weiner dog who barks and growls at my kids....into my inlaws home. They've never had inside pets. This asshole dog has nearly died at my hands for growling at my kids more than once....and the sister in law snarls at my kids(and now the others) if they're laughing too loud or playing too loud because it distrubs the dog and makes it bark. In a house without enough seating for the full capacity of the growing family, they put a dog on the sofa where a human could be sitting.....The dog is a fat, spoiled asshole. When we leave for another gathering, it gets into bathroom trash, shits on the floor.....and this year pissed on a new rug that I stepped in as i was gathering things to leave. I hate that F'ing dog.
Lesson......Non-pet people don't love your pet. They don't want it on them, they don't want it on their furniture. If you bring your dog to a non-dog home, it annoys the shit out of everyone, even if they're too polite to say so. They're just ignoring it to not cause family drama. Kennel your canine or leave it in the garage. |

Glad others are screwed up more than mine.
My BIL got divorced this year. THANK GOD!!! I believe she basically mentally abused him into submission. Kept him on an allowance. She loved to talk about herself. I could not stand to be in the same room as her. Her kids were always better, anything she did was better than ANYTHING you could ever had done. So, being together only happened once a year. Pretty much shut them out of our lives. Felt bad for the BIL, but .... Now he is free and has discovered beer again. My kids are glad to have him around. It was a good Christmas.

Anyone that allows their dog to do anything like that is a ****ing weirdo in my book. I don't give a shit how small the dog is or how much time it spends inside. It's a ****ing dog. |

If you bitch about my dogs, your kids better be angels. The bratty screaming whiney little shits give me a headache. They're little carrier monkeys.

I'm the dog guy. But mine doesn't get on anything, never pisses or shits in the house, and is nice to kids. Oh, and I always ask, or at least understand that he's welcome before I bring him. At my inlaws he always stays kenneled.
When I leave him at home, everyone always asks where he is, sometimes, they even want me to go get him. Generally speaking, don't be a ****tard, dog or no to avoid problems. Coincidentally, estrogen is the cause of far more family....bullshit than any pet or even kids. |

The little kids that run around screaming while I'm trying to watch football or a xmas movie.
These little brats don't ever listen to their own parents. If you tell them to stop anything you have to yell at them to get the point across, and that's after you ask them nicely about 3-4x, then the parents will give you that "look" like "you just yelled at my kid". YES I yelled at the little ****er tell him to calm the **** down or have him go outside. There's tons of room and it's nice out and no one cares if he's an asshole outside.

FYI, when you ask to bring your dog/cat into a non-pet owner's home and they say it's ok...what they mean is "No, I don't want dog hair on all of my things" but they're too polite to say it. If people visit your home, they expect to deal with your pets....when you bring them to non-dog homes, HUMANS should not have to tip toe around your bitchy, a-hole licking, trash digging, ass sniffing, hair shedding slobber farm.
Now, the flip side. Dadowanian has done something the past few years for the grandkids that I think is pretty cool. He wraps his Ranger in Christmas lights that are plugged into a power converter and takes the kids on a "night ride" in the woods around his house. It looks really cool, even better when there is snow and the kids think it is awesome. I guess that doesn't belong in a what's wrong thread....but it's cool enough to share as to what is RIGHT with holidays. |

It's tough to say since I don't have one but at the moment
I don't think I'd bring my dog to a family function. Not that good, mild mannered dogs aren't great to have around or anything, but family functions are usually pretty hectic. Tons of noise and foot traffic. Dogs are naturally pretty curious and love to lay down right in the middle of open rooms/walkways. It just wouldn't be a good fit. Unless I had to travel for hours and didn't want to leave him at home for such a long time I think I'd just pass on bringing him.. |
