Puke wants to attend my family's Christmas

over step's picture

DH told me yesterday that Puke will be here the weekend before Christmas and would like to be a part of my family's Christmas which will be at our home. I have to work around my 3 sisters' families so it's hard to say when it will be held. I have made it clear from the beginning that I can't guarantee it will be held when Puke is supposed to be here.

I'm skeptical that Puke really wants to be here for this. Last time she said that she spent the night in her room after only a few minutes with my family. This will not fly this time and I told DH this. He agreed. She will not disrespect my family by being unsocial.

My family has accepted Puke from the very beginning with welcome arms and always asks about her. Puke on the other hand refers to them as "those people". I don't want her around my family for this reason but it means a lot to DH so I will suck it up for his sake. If anyone will disappoint him, it will be Puke not me.

Well if she acts up or hides out in her room again, it will be on DH cuz he will have to apologize or answer questions. He will also have to suck up to me for long time. Plus she will not be allowed to any of my family get-togethers.

I have such a huge family that we don't gift give except for mom. Puke won't get anything but a few dollars from my mom.

Let her come then let her be her bratty antisocial self. Then in the future your DH can be reminded of this every time he needs it clarified as to why she is no longer welcome anywhere near your family

Exactly!!! DH will be responsible for keeping Puke in check and will suffer the consequences if she doesn't. Puke has no manners whatsoever and will not be overlooked like it is around DH's family.

I told my DH that his son cannot come to the Christmas dinner I am hosting for HIS family.

Well I don't think Puke brought it up on her own. I think DH asked if she would like to if she is here.

I honestly don't care if she does so him saying something doesn't bother me. I will come out of this smelling like roses no matter what.

Here's my prediction : Puke is going to say she wants to come. Let's face it, she's motivated by things and she thinks she will get more if she is present for the celebration. Your DH will want to be sure she gets some positive reinforcement for choosing to come. Hence, bigger loot. And if cancels at the last minute, she still gets the loot and not coming (which would be just dandy anyway ).

Well Puke won't getting anything from my family other than a little something from my mom. She never has. We don't buy for everyone. Besides I won't be telling my family she is coming in case she bails.

DH has a set amount to spend on puke so she will not get any more than that.
