Yes, listening to them reminded me exactly what my sister-in-law did at Thanksgiving 2019. She pitched a passive-aggressive tantrum because I had the audacity to bring wheat into her house—in the form of homemade ciabatta rolls—which she put in the oven to “warm,” burned them to a crisp and then tossed into the garbage with a flourish. After that, she was so drunk she fell asleep sitting upright during dinner. We have not spent a holiday with them since.
Re: sister-in-laws
One good thing came of the holiday winter storm....it was too dangerous to drive Christmas Eve Day, so we did not go see my in laws, including my SIL who is so special that seeing her once a year is too often. Good thing she lives in Qatar the rest of the year. That’s the perfect distance from me. 🤣
