My Parents Came Back Early From Christmas With Hurt Feelings.

[Coach]

Well, as the thread states..My Mom and Dad drove 6+ hours up to Maine to spend Christmas and some time with my sister and her family. They cut short their visit by two days, and came home with very hurt feelings.
Now I had always been of the contention that her kids could be bratty, but I never imagined they would have ever been this brazen:
They were going to stay through tonight and into Sunday Am to celebrate my youngest Neice's Birthday.
Apparently, from the moment they walked in the door the oldest, barely a teenager, was really shitty to my mother, going so far as to calling my mom an old cow.
Apparently, the youngest male, my father considers to be a thief and liar..he would not elaborate.

The Youngest girl (whose birthday they were going to stay for), told my father she wanted him to go, when he asked her what she said, she repeated loudly to "JUST GO!" Dad, not being one to outstay his welcome, just told mom to pack and they were leaving.

Now I am conflicted as to whether to call my sister and inform her of what happened, or to, since kids often mimic behavior of their parents, be pissed at my sister.
It really is a shame, granted that both my parents are disabled now, and cannot do what many other grandparents their age do. Dad had 3 strokes and Cancer, Mom has a degenerating spinal condition.

your obviously not irish





in my family we would just disavow this branch of the family all together and pretend that the event never happened.




by and large native mainers are retard inbred white trash; just be happy you no longer have anyone in your family that drives an old shitty ford van

[Coach]

nope we're irish..but mom is all touchy feely now that she stopped drinking.

[jonyrotn]

Baaaaad Babies...
I know where there's a Dr Pepper machinewe can lock them in..:wink:

[instrument]

i'm sorry, some bratty ass kids treated your parents like shit and you're posting about it on a message board and not on the phone asking your sister what the fucks her problem?

really?

[HBox]

They live in Maine. There's nothing you could do that's more punishment than that.

[Fez4PrezN2008]

That sucks balls to have your grandchildren treat you like that. I'd cut those little shitdicks out of my will if it were me. Maybe you should let sis know that you know how shitty they treated mom + dad and that they don't deserve that.

See, I dunno if some of it was picked up from listening to her.
And I am sure Dad was wanting to spank a few kids..but alas, spanking has gone the way of the Dodo. Not that it is always the answer, but I am sure it would have helped.

[CHUCKWAGONCOOK]

Sucks to be a person who cares. My Advice to your parents. Try not talking with the family for about 2 years. They'll love to hear from you then. Sometimes a little absents makes the heart grow fonder.

[joethebartender]

This is crazy...let everyone know! What a load of horseshit!

[Farmer Dave]

I say call your sister. Ask her why your folks left early, she may feel bad about it as well. If she come off bitchy like they did something wrong then go ahead and be pissed. I'm betting the tone she takes will tell you all you need to know.

[Death Metal Moe]

You're gonna have to call. I would call and just ask her what happened and get her side ot if too. No offense to your parents, but you just have their side of the story. Get both, and if you trust your sister, the truth lies somewhere between both stories most likely.

Or just ignore whole branches of your family like I do.

[ToiletCrusher]

Be angry at the situation, not the people involved. Ask your sister for the story and compare it to what your parents said. Then se what she is planning to do. Then, like CHUCKWAGON said, boycott seeing that part of your family for a while. It will make your sister's family appreciate what they pushed away.

[drusilla]

it's been said here before, but you should call your sister. you need to her her version of what went on & she needs to know why they left. there is a chance she may not even know any of this went on & she may feel bad. if not, then you have reason enough to be pissed at her. but i would call her first & find out what the hell happened.

[Contra]

You should send a gift to the kids. A box of feces with a card that says "this is how you treat people"

[DiabloSammich]

Dead to me.

quick question


you imply that your sister doesnt know why your parents left by asking if you should call and tell


if true what does your sis think is the reason they left early ??



anyway i'd def call and let her know if she doesnt already, and if she doesnt and doesnt seem pissed then you'll know if the kids are just reflecting her feelings

either way you should tell her that her kids shouldnt be disrespectful

[A.J.]

If I had ever talked to my grandparents like that, my father would have given me such a beating with the belt to ensure that I never be disrespectful like that again.

[sailor]

even if you end up yelling at her, why would you start off the call with that stance? call and see what she says before attacking.

x2


but i also never had a reason to act that way in the first place

I second Moe's advice (and if your parents are more right than wrong, Contra's as well).

[bigredd]

I'd stay out of it. Maybe her kids are fuckin dicks but that's her problemooor their problem I guess. What if you call her and she says your folks were dicks? Mayeb the first thing your mom did when she walked in was ask why the youngest was dressed like a whore while your ol man looked at the young lad and wondered loudly if the football team (he clearly doesn't play for) allows young men to have as long as women. I'd like to hear an unsollicited version from your sister.

[nukinfuts]

:clap::clap::clap:

I would buy these brats nothing for Christmas or Birthdays. I don't care if your sister was pissed at your parents because lets face it we all get tired of our parents when they are visiting but for the kids to be disrespectful is a load of shit.

In my family we just drink alot before the disruptive dysfunctional relatives arrive...makes it easier to ignore the fights.

[scottinnj]

Do nothing.

Are your parents somewhat well off? More inheritance for you!

[AngelAmy]

I think you should call your sister and get her side of the story

Don't bother telling her that you disapprove of what happened of because it will just start a fight...no one wants to be told how to raise their kids...it would make everything worse

Hopefully you could have a civilized conversation about it

I also think you should maybe suggest to your parents to skip that house next year. No one should be treated like that...especially by family

[JohnGacysCrawlSpace]

What ever happened to just beating your children when they get out of line?

[Death Metal Moe]

What ever happened to just beating your children when they get out of line?

Best board name I've seen in a long time.

[grlNIN]

The only time i was ever disrespectful towards a grandparent was when i kicked the back of my grandfather's seat in the car while he was driving.

He stopped short, turned around and started screaming in my face and i am still pretty sure he would have murdered me if my brothers weren't in the car.

That being said, there is no tolerance for disrespect, i would call your sister, see what is up and if she sides with the kids or pretends to be ignorant about their behavior then brace yourself for a 6 hour drive and good ass stomping.

[boosterp]

Fuck yes! And if sis does not apologize, tell here she no longer fucking exists to you.

God damn girl, you rock! Best answer yet.

[The Jays]

I would solve this by not putting her kids name on their Christmas card next year. That'll show em!

[Dude!]

geez you only got one side of the story
for all you know, dad my have put his hands down the girl's pants
not saying he did, but you have no idea what really happened

you shouldn't be passing judgement until you know the whole story

[The Jays]

Ok ok, you're right. My reaction might have been a little too harsh without hearing both sides of the argument.

[OneEyeJack]

I wonder what Tyler Durden would do???

[MacVittie]

My grandparents would have never, in a million years, allowed me or any of my siblings and cousins to treat them like that. My grandfather would have sooner dug my eye out with his thumb that have me treat him and my grandmother in such a manner.

[Coach]

Bit the Bullet and called my sister today. She was surprised about what I told her, but came back with a really Bitchy and (excuse me ladies) Cunty response: "Well, I will find out about that, but in all fairness, Mom and Dad ARE a burden, and I think the kids were worn out. If you were here to take care of them, it might have gone easier."

Wait, What? They're not fucking invalids! They ambulate, talk well,are lucid, have their wits about them, and use the bathroom by themselves! WHEN DID I BECOME THEIR FUCKING CAREGIVER???

[bigredd]

It seems like one sibling usually gets put in charge of the folks at some point. I don't know if it's one just assuming the other is going to do it or what but I hear about it all the time.

what is your sister's address?

i have a few days off and would like to give here a special new year's bitch slap.

[Farmer Dave]

Sounds like she doesn't need to be burdened by them next year, or their gifts.

[Death Metal Moe]

Bingo. Been trying to convince my grandmother of this for like a decade now. If your family doesn't act like they love you, doesn't call on your birthday and the only time they remember you is to schedule a holiday visit to get their gifts, then fucking stop giving them shit, save the money and spend it on stuff to make yourself in your golden years.

I fucking hate family sometimes.

Please. She didn't have to invite the "burdens" to drive six hours and stay. I hope her kids talk to her like that, she deserves it, celebrate anywhere but Maine next year.
