So its 11:36 and its all quiet. Quiet... no family to entertain no cats no cooking... This is nice.
Lets back up. My parents got in last night at 2am and we got here around 4... it was long and E's parents were cranky while mine where giddy. Mom and I stayed up till 5:30 am talking about looking at the house. Lots of hugs which were nice. There is nothing like the love you feel from a parent... Anyhow that was last night. 9am and they were up .. 3and a half hours of sleeping on a floor and then it was time to cook. It was the first time i've cooked with my mom in a long time and she kept giving me that look like "WOW" my daughter. I was very pleased with myself and she was pleased with me which was nice. THen E's parents came (They had stayed at a hotel while mine stayed here) As they walked in to the house a fog of glume fallowed. As it was they didn't show up to nearly 2:30pm. Apparently their rental car was damaged and E's Dad We'll call him M stayed on the phone for 45 min yelling at the rental place. He was going to drive 4 hours to return the car if they didn't agree not to charge him for the damage.. this means he would have missed the dinner he flew out to have. I didn't get a hi from either of his parents and neither did my parents. THen M went to the porch to pout while i gave E's mom G the tour. She didn't even say that the house was nice let alone beautiful(I hope to post pics soon) But five min later i hear her on the phone saying how wonderful "E'S" house is to her mother. Shortened vertion of the day.. G did very little to help but did do some. M did nothing at all but sit on his ass and ask for pieces of food to be braught to him. Mom and i cooked everything. M talked to my stp dad but only briefly and openly ignored my mom ( he didnt say to much to me either). G wasthe fake kind of polite she normaly is around family. When it came to eat we couldn't say grace and no one waited for me to eat so by the time i finished my soup everyone else finished their meal. M hardly ate anything cause he stuffed him self. When it was time to clean up my mom started doing dishes. I think she insulted G because she took them out of the dishwasher and did them by hand. G had just put them in the dishwasher with out rinsing them. All i know is G didn't help clear after that. They all ignored my stp dad so much he went to bed soon after the meal. I got a thanks for haveing us and mom got a thanks for cooking (I did everything sept the bird and stuffing).They never even said the food was actually good.
They've been cold sence they met my parents last may. I don't know how the two families will survive together long term. Speaking of which mom and i had a long tal about everything after turkey put all to sleep. Good news is she's seeing a counciler for the first time ever. Bad news ... she didn't tell me to stay with E.
I slaved over that meal and it was really fucking good... but even that didn't matter in the end. I'm afraid of what will come tomarrow. But for now i'm off... I shouldn't have even logged on to write this. Hope all are well and i hope ou had a great turkey day.

I miss you

with the exception of your mum, it didn't seem like anybody (excluding your fiance) made an effort. don't let it get to you. all that truly matters in this scenario is how you and E get along. don't let his parents get to you! they are not going to change. so no matter what you do, they will continue to be ungratefull. and you can always do what other couples do, one holiday with your parents, the next with his. and rotate it each year. i am sure your house looks fabulous, and your meal was delicious!
