Christmas and Family: It's a holly jolly Christmas…

It's a holly jolly Christmas…

Today, I usually take my daughter to daycare; my wife had to drop her daughter off at 8. The kid refused to get up, making them late. Wife argues with me, claiming I made her late. She said hurtful things and left late at 8:30. We haven't spoken and probably won't for the rest of Christmas week. I love Christmas. FML

Today, my parents refused to give my daughter her Christmas presents as an act of revenge against her father. FML

Today, I took my daughter to see Santa at the mall. When I went to pick her up from Santa's lap, my watch snagged on his beard, pulling it off in front of my daughter and about twenty kids in line. My daughter still isn't speaking to me. FML

Today, I had the worst Xmas of my life. My wife has been screeching all day about my ex-wife being at a party, As if I invited her, or even had any knowledge of her being there. I even had to go outside to hide my tears of anger and frustration. This has been going on for 30 years now. FML

Today, I thought my mom and I could put aside our differences and open our Christmas presents. When she opened mine, she turned to my dad and said she didn't want the present, so I could give it to someone else. 'Tis the season. FML

Bad omen

Today, my wife hates being a mom so much that our daughter is practically being raised by her grandparents, due to how often she just drops her at their house, multiple times a week. I of course pick her straight up as soon as I finish work, but it’s her bedtime only an hour later. This is not good. FML

Today, I was picking up my daughter from my ex-husband's house and his new girlfriend was there. I said to my daughter that it was time to leave and she clung to his girlfriend and said, "Mommy, I don't want to leave." She wasn't talking to me. FML

Today, my cousin left her undisciplined demon-child at my house for Christmas. This child destroyed the other children's gifts and made so much noise that the neighbors called the police. The adults can't really discipline her while her mother is away, so all we can do is apologize in this child's wake. FML

Today, my wife screamed, cried, called me lazy and a bad parent, and threatened to leave and take our four kids. All I did was ask for an hour to myself every day for some private time. FML

Today, I had to break up a fistfight between my wife and mother. Apparently, my mom heard that I finally got the great paying job of my dreams, and told my wife I'd finally kick her "useless ass to the curb." We have to spend the holidays together. FML

Xmas stress

Today, besides the fact that I hate Christmas since my parents divorced, my mom told me she can't come this year with my sister because of no money. We even offered to pay for their tickets, but she won't come because of the "last minute" stress. Fuck this year. FML

While people say it's a wonderful time of the year, it's actually extremely stressful. Try to reach out neutrally, and hopefully she will apologise/realize/take back what she said so it's a nicer week for you two. Some days can be like that, especially if you're both working and just want to relax! We as humans sometimes need something to blame, even though it wasn't the reason. Doesn't excuse the attitude, just saying it does happen.

Oh yeah, you quarrel with your wife, so cheat on her for Christmas, makes sense. 😒

It's too bad the bars are closed these days. Otherwise, you could have gone to one on Christmas Eve, find a ho, ho, ho and get into her stockings -- if you know what I mean. ;)

That's crazy! We're in the middle of a pandemic, duh. Not many people have a ho, ho, ho in their bubble!

How does you dropping your kid off have anything to do with her dropping hers off? Do you do everything on a mine/yours basis? If so, I feel extremely bad for the children.
