Which family member causes problems at Xmas?

PhilBill

We all have that one family member that causes problems every Christmas! Whether they get drunk and become extremely racist or are just looking to cause an argument. Mine is my racist argumentative great grand mother.Who is 96 btw.. Who is yours?

You're gonna have some serious problems with that one when she hits the teenage years.

I've already written a big thing about my cousin's wife.

The TL;DR version is that she is just a malevolent cow who ruined this Christmas. Following on from her success at ruining previous weddings, parties, reunions, birthdays. Now she's f*cked up Christmas. Great. I'm blessed with a very normal family, and in a twisted moment of sour grapes, I reflected that at least she's only in my family by marriage. I never really liked her, but after today, I actually really despise her. She reduced her mother in law (my mother's sister) and her own children to tears with her antics.

Bitch.

My dad. Or my mother if my dad isn't acting up. During his teens, my brother too.

They've all gone to bed for the night. My parents got a kitten to take care of the mice. He just scratched me up pretty bad on my hand...so he's causing problems too. Little w@nker

I don't think there's one in my family. However I got out of bed at 10 to give my presents, came back to bed to watch Game of Thrones, went down for dinner, back to my room after 25 minutes, slept til 8:30pm and now in my room drinking wine watching TV.

The most wonderful time of the year my arse.

Ditched them all at about 7:30 after proclaiming my religious rights(Religion is bull) and calling three of them racists... Went to my room to drink for the night and watch House M.D.

The culmination of a long list of bullsh*t that just ruined the day for everyone, made it painfully awkward from then on. Petty stuff, really, but it is just a culmination and is never ending with her.

The only people to be with at Xmas are the people you actually want to be with. Assuming they want you there too! Best wishes to everyone suffering the forced and false togetherness of this day. It's nearly done.

Just read the other thread. I pity your cousin, and have no doubt she got pregnant to ensure she has hold over him; have seen such women.

You'd be a shoo in for Sherlock, but we were not looking for past posts. We were talking about Christmas tragedies.

I wonder - if you can not think of someone in your family like that - does that mean YOU might be he/she/it?

But seriously. There is one that I dread meeting. "Grandfather Bernard". And from what I have gathered he is no grandfather but the uncle of a married in uncle on the side of one of the girls I am seeing. But he it one of these entrenched and quite likeable characters. That even in his (very) advanced years still has social control over all around him - including me I have to admit.

I love some of the things he comes out with or adds to social gatherings. Including when he pulls himself CLICKingLY to his feet at parties and sings "Blue Berry Hill" in a vocal that would make the gravel of Gerry Fish sound like a prepubescent girl.

But this guy HATES me. With a serious passion. And my Xmas trial is that for the sake of the girls and the social scenario I can never blow up at him. Just throw my best Passive Agreeive Irony at him (which in fairness has made him splutter once or twice).

The main embarrasment comes from all the people who laugh at his antics for the most part who then - when I am leaving quite happy and unperturbed (but tired perhaps) from the experience - pour apologies on me as I leave. And then I have to convince them somehow that I actually did love every minute of it. Truely.

But every year the same thing. "Same procedure as every year" as that movies the Germans love says

Man I have to record him singing Blueberry hill though. If I do it right its going to be a bigger hit than when Tom Waits did that "Jesus Wine - Never Failed me Yet" thing with the homeless guy.

if you cant point anyone out


its you

My wifes incredibly socially awkward god father. Took him twenty minutes this morning to decide which cup to use to make coffee because he was afraid someone else wanted the mug. He'd drive you to drink

You should meet my grandfather! The person that made me socially awkward! Although I absolutely adore him I try and have as few conversations with him as I possibly can.

Ah yes there's always one.
I'll just call her a female relation, thankfully in my extended family.

She mentioned to my mum that she was looking forward to a certain book coming out but wouldn't be able to afford it in hardback so would have to wait for paperback. My mum immediately bought the book from the bookdepository online, wrapped it up really nicely and gave it to her after they spent the day with us and we rolled out the red carpet for her and her family. She opened the book on the way home in the car and we got a call when she was an hour into the journey saying "you seem to have wrapped one of your old books and given it to me so I've stopped at a post office and posted it back to you, wouldn't want you being without your book". The phone was hung up them before my mum got one word out..
The book depository always put a bookmark advertising their shop in books bought there, she saw it and presumed that the bookmark signified my mum was reading it before she gave it to her. It definitely put a damper on what was a nice day.
Never a visit passes without some spiteful nastiness aimed at someone where she is concerned.

I have one cousin who is consistently the drunkest at family events. We were all together on xmas eve and we got stuck into the prosecco but he was actually fairly well behaved. That's it really. Today was just my immediate family so fairly chill.

My grannys sister, my great aunt, is the one who causes the issues for my family. My gran can put her in her place sharply enough so she's just offensive enough to add some interest and local colour, but she's not given the opportunity to cause any major problems. Keeps things interesting, with that little frisson of tension. :P

Usually the biggest fight is over who gets to hold the remote control, that kind of power isn't gained, wielded or given up without a battle.

Sounds like a lack of effort on your part to be honest.

I'm assuming by lack of effort you mean the fact that he hasn't finished watching Game of Thrones yet!? I finished the books when I was 15 pal you need to pick the pace up!!! lol

so fúcking annoyed, Christmas was going incredibly well, literally in tears with laughter because of my mum but unfortunately she can't keep her mouth shut & involves herself in other people's business. Christmas has been ruined...again


Also, I've found my calling in life, a UN peacekeeper. I did a pretty good job tonight if I do say so myself, things could of gotten extremely messy
