The Underailable Thread....Part Deux, the Sequel!!

By the way, I took my kids to see Solo today at the theater.

Verdict? I haven't seen it yet.

and.....?

I liked Solo - it's not epic like other Star Wars movies. But, it's still completely enjoyable, and the actor who plays Han nailed the Han Solo attitude and facial expressions.

I got chewed out by my boss because my production has been down since my MIL has been here AND I have not been working the 4-6 hours of OT they're "asking" for. I told her this is a very bad month for me. I have not ever been one to work OT on weekdays, and all of my weekends this month have been spoken for because of MIL. I also reminded her - this situation was forced on me by my husband and my bully of a sister-in-law. It wasn't my idea.

So, I gave my husband grief tonight, and told him I'm so glad I could possibly lose my job, so his sister could have a vacation. I also told him that the ONLY reason this situation works is because I work from home. Both he and his sister know it, and it was incredibly selfish and unfair of them to put this on me like I don't actually work or something. I told my mother next time I'm going to move out until MIL is gone. My mom pointed out that since my MIL is 87 there may not be a next time.

But, people in that family live well into their 90s. Her sister was 96 when she passed, and I think the only reason she passed then was because her husband of 70 years had recently died at 104. So, there probably will be a next time, and we will still be living in this house, and I'll be even more worried about her falling down our stairs.

If we had a bigger house with a bed and bath on the first floor and I had a private office space - this wouldn't be so bad. But, just having another person in my space is incredibly distracting.

Oh and there was one day that she didn't come down until almost noon - I was so scared she had passed away in the night.

Crazy!!! Sure sorry to hear all this summer stress!!! Ugh. My wife’s sisters are not keen on me. One of the sisters flat out can’t stand me! Luckily they live in the a Philippines, so I’m far from the drama!

I thought Solo was decent, too. I don’t trust Kathleen Kennedy ONE BIT with her liberal secularist atheist LGBT SJW idiocy, so I suspect bisexuality and gay residue will be stuck to Star Wars soon like cinemuck gum and goo at the bottom of your shoe! So I thought I’d enjoy it while I can with my kids.

So now my sister-in-law - who knew good and darn well that this weekend is my son's birthday - says she can't possibly meet us to take their mother back on Saturday. She wants us to bring her the whole way to NC - a mere 10 hours 1 way. This is nothing more or less than a power and control game for her, and I've had enough. I don't ever - under any circumstances - want to see her again.

I am sorry to hear she's doing this. That's a hard one in particular to set boundaries on since you have the care of your MIL alongside it.

So Hub ended up taking MIL the whole way to NC and SIL had the nerve to whine that she had to cancel her hair appointment because of having to wait on HUb and their mom. Like how dare we inconvenience her! I told Hub it shows she planned to manipulate the situation so we’d have to take MiL the whole way to NC from the beginning. It’s also a really good thing she and I didn’t come face to face or there might have been actual violence.

 

[ArmyMatt]

ugh, prayers for you

Drama city!

I really hate family drama - especially the planned kind. After living through extremes of it from several directions I can say that none of my remaining family members are inclined that way - thankfully!

But I know how maddening it can be. God be with you.

Name the movie. Here's the quote:

They sent in their best man, and when we roll across the 59th Street bridge tomorrow, on our way to freedom, we're going to have their best man leading the way - from the neck up! [cheering erupts] On the hood of my car! [more cheering]

"May the wings of liberty never lose a feather."
Same actor, same director, different movie.
Actually not the same actor as your quote, but he was the lead role.

Hey Gurney you should start a thread just devoted to "name that movie". Our own game thread would be fun and you guys are good at it.
