Chi - hoping your wife takes after her mother. What a selfish prick.

Denizens of the CrackerVerse are not redeemable. Save yourself and your family.

Posted: **Fri Dec 22, 2023 12:25 pm**

Hi Chi. Maybe the bright spot is you won't have to spend any time with that dumbass during the holidays.

Just trying to find a positive note in all this.

Posted: **Fri Dec 22, 2023 12:32 pm**

I was trying everything in my power to get better and have a negative test before Xmas so we could all be together and my mom and stepdad said fuck that, we'll see you in a week or two LOL.

Posted: **Fri Dec 22, 2023 1:57 pm**

I get to host my mom for two days starting tomorrow.

My wife asked what she would like for Christmas, I responded; I don’t think there’s a gift for victimization mentality, and learned helplessness.

She’s a special kind of boomer

Can't you just write yourself a script for Valium? I ask because I presume your mother will be bringing bacon again? Wasn't it she who spawned that wonderful memory? Or have I got your family mixed up with someone else?

For me, it’s a definite positive (as is not having to attend the extended family shitty Indiana food Christmas Eve bonanza).

For my kids, it’s definitely not.

Lime Jell-O casserole?

My oldest son was telling me yesterday that on a job application they asked a bunch of psychological profile questions, one of them being: Could you get angry enough to hurt someone?

He said yes on it, and said that later his application was denied due to concerns about his answers, maybe not that one.

I told him that I would have said yes too, and probably think that is the correct answer. If someone rapes my wife, or injures my children you can be damn sure I could hurt them. Someone saying no I would suspect is lying.

Sickening my family due to misinformation and selfishness would be another good reason to hurt someone.

Posted: **Fri Dec 22, 2023 2:54 pm**

Oh yeah, I could hurt some people. But not over some workplace bullshit. And hilariously if I were to tell my FIL that I did something really stupid and endangered the health of my family, he’d probably be talking about kicking my ass.

I really hope he’s suffering.
Wheeze you stupid cunt. WHEEZE!

Perhaps.

And if mainlining Negronis can count as valium, then I’m already there.

Case in point #1: we’ve been talking about having her join in on Christmas since June “cause I never get to see my grand kids”

Sorry mom, you can fly, 5 tickets is too much for me around the holidays.

So finally this year she wants to come up. Yippee.

2.5 weeks ago: mom send me your tickets.

Mom- I haven’t purchased yet?

What do you mean, I offered to buy back in summer, you said you would do it.

Her - blah blah blah word salad, work schedule, I have to work, this time of year is so stressful, why do I have to come to Ca, the airports, more word salad and tears.

Next day, “I found a cheap flight!”

So tomorrow I get to waste half the day driving down to sfo in holiday nor cal traffic to pick her and my sisters ass up. It’s going to be a 6hr ordeal.

She flies out Christmas night. And my duty as son is done….

Made it to SFO, 10 minutes to picking up my mom and sister, whiskey, ice, and chilled glasses, plural, in freezer, lots of Campari, gin, and vermouth at home.

I can can get through the next two and a half days.

Things I’ve learned about myself in life. I’m good for about 48hrs in Vegas and Disneyland. I’m good for about 3 days at my moms house. Last night we had a discussion about portion control and how I’ll stsrt giving the kids their food. Nothing personal just how we want to do things for our kids. Of course mom takes it personal...

This morning I preparing breakfast. Asked oldest if she wanted eggs and bacon or oatmeal. She clearly said oatmeal. Mom asked if she wants bacon (wtf is it with her a bacon) and oldest said clear no thank you. I looked to mom and stated how glad I am my oldest expressed her wishes for breakfast.

I step out for 2 minutes and come back and there is a healing plate of fuckignnbacon infront of my daughter. And I lose my shit. My mom says Victoria asked for it, and I asked Victoria and she said “gramma gave it to me”. which made me more irate because i fell my mom things it’s like a game now because I find it incredible disrespectful to me and my family among other smaller incidents that have gone on through out the trip.

Compounding things, I don’t come form a family of measured discussion, and I am complicit too. I’m not good with polite speech during charged topics in my personal life. I’m mush better professionally and this weakness of mine is something I’ve had to develop in my adult life because I’ve had too and didn’t really have this example growing up. My wife’s family are saints they discuss things listen to other people’s perspectives and try to come to a decent solution without taking things too personal. My family is the complete opposite.

Anyways I’ve sorry to dominate this thread the past two days, I’m trying to write in jest and get it out, but these trips home are so incredibly stressful. I try to accept my mother for who she is but god damn it’s so tough at times. I wish/pray things where different it that pissing in the wind when the other party is too ignorant and stubborn to look outside themselves to change. There are clear reasons why I only make this trip about every 18months. Wish it could be more frequent but they are just really difficult trips and not a good way for my to “decompress from the office”

Maybe this is tmi but you guys are great support for shit like this.

Well I be damned Dove - you have a better memory than me, clearly I banked this in the “let it go, moving on” outbox and deleted the files.

And yes, clearly my mom has something special with bacon cause this was the original post.

We are trying to stick to portion control, fruits and veggies first before main dishes, and not offering bacon at every breakfast. “How do you like your oatmeal kids, do you want some
Bacon? Yay!!!!” And then we have to look like the bad guy for explaining why we don’t eat bacon every fucking morning. And after I’ve spoken to my mother ad naseum about these type of meal issues in the past. To which I get you’ve been in California too long and she feels it’s like some personal affront to her showing of love as a grandma.

Well…4 years later …I have another entry for you all in the “Mama CST and her love of bacon chronicles”.

Stay tuned…part three forthcoming after I hang out with my kids for a bit…

Heh heh heh my wife remembers me reading that to her, and to this day she refers to you as the guy with the bacon-terrorist mom.

Just got an email from my a woodsworker buddy: a friend of ours was driving south on Hwy 101 from Florence, OR. to Bandon to meet up with a brushing crew he runs for the city. It was about 4:15 AM. on 101 just south of Gardiner when he hits a pedestrian dressed on dark clothes in the middle of the southbound lane. Dude dies at the scene; our buddy cooperated with State Troopers. Troopers found drug paraphernalia on the pedestrian, but sure, it's Oregon. My buddy says he sees homeless on that woodsy stretch of road a lot. JFC.

Greg- so sorry for your son. Hopefully he got a nice layoff package and finds a better job.

Dove- that is horrible and 1 of my worst nightmares. Even though your buddy most likely did nothing wrong- that guilt (undeserved) will probably haunt him for a long time.

It’s hard to know what to say when presented with such an unexplainable tragedy, but my hope is that your family and his friends and loved-ones can embrace and be there for each other as a tribute to his memory.

Thanks. We have a lot of family in Arizona who were really close with him. We have been telling stories to each other about his greatness and memories that he left with us. It's such a tragedy that I can't comprehend.

Yeah, and you're a big guy if I recall correctly. Gotta protect those knees (and ankles). And, as considerate, well-trained husbands we're supposed to execute both business models in the seated position. So there's that.
