Did anyone get caught up in the usual 'family argument on Christmas Day? What over?

Question

My Mum, who has never wanted to come on a trip anywhere with me in 15 years, despite being constantly asked, suddenly got 'green eye' when I bought a ticket to Venice for my Sis in Law as a thank you Xmas pressie for helping me with my child, put dinner on table then went to bed-oh Happy Days..............

Answer 1

Unfortunately I made the mistake of calling my mother who lives in another state. She was in one of her b i t c h y moods and I think she was probably half in the bag. She got pissed because my sister and I got together for Xmas Eve and my sister bought me and my kids nice gifts but didn't get her and my father anything. My parents treat us like dirt. They are emotionally abusive and used to physically abuse my sisters. They are never around, haven't shown any interest in our children and tend to be jealous when something goes good in our lives. My mother is selfish and cruel and I regret having even called her...She should be happy that my sister and I are getting together and acting like a family. My parents treat their dog better than they have ever treated us. My sister offered for us to come visit them right before Xmas so they could see me (haven't seen them since 1998) and they have never met three of my children but they didn't want us to come up because they were afraid it would upset their stupid dog....

Every year it seems to be something...my inlaws were priceless this year too sending me a fridge magnet to tell me that they hate me and I am not worth giving a real present to (hubby got a $50 gift card in his name only and a book about how loved he is)....

Answer 2

i argued with my 3 oldest children because none of them called me or came 2 c me and this is the first christmas we have ever been apart and their 2 younger siblings r still at home with me and it really hurt me they didnt care enough to at least come be with them and the younger ones were so let down
