The Traditional 'christmas Fight'

[Ke1t]

Trying to get shit done for the family coming over... she's in the kitchen I'm trying to clean. Every ten seconds.. "Can you help me with this? Can you help me with that? Can you look for them?"

 

Result being I'm getting fuck all done because she can't do anything for herself... and she's wondering why I'm getting pissed off. She starts crying, the usual female ploy, obviously forgetting that I'm immune to feigned emotional distress, and instead she's told to buck the fuck up and stop acting like a 5 year old.

 

Currently, after a magic screaming match, I'm doing the mature and adult thing and have stopped doing anything at all, and am sitting fucking around on the internets

 

Her folks will be here in an hour and fuck all's done

 

How's you Jesusmas going?

[essex don]

have to back you up on this one ke1t, they should be able to take you as they find you. trying to clean up to impress your folks is bollox.

 

my xmas has been crap anyway, my son was working, daughter at her mums, so i grabbed the fishing rods and went to south coast. will be up north for new year though.

[muttondressedaslamb]

Had this last night, alcohol fuelled emotions running wild due to people pissing me off.

All forgiven this morning. Good stuff.

[BrianFaePerth]

Just completed oors.

 

Have had meh parents here for near on a week, and generally speaking it's gone ok.

 

But, suddenly, without provocation, other than being of the female persuasion, Mrs Byen went off on one big style shouting at the kids and giving me a moothful, and no the good kind. Seems me and my parents dared to chat while the bairns were annoying her.

 

Still simmering tension in the hoose at the moment, so like Kelt, eh've retired to the interweb.

[tup]

If Christmas coincides with your bit of stuff's bad week, look out, it becomes bad, mad, and sad week rolled into one, emotions are running high.

 

I'm sceptical about bad weeks, to me it's just women seeking carte blanche to girn like fuck, officially, for one week in four.

 

Get a grip is my message to hatchet faced menstruating women, man haters, it's not our fault FFS.

 

Never trust a creature that can bleed for a week and not die is my motto.

When taingirl starts that shit she gets asked when she wants the dentist appointment.

In 9 cases out of 10 females crying should be ignored, it's just learnt and reinforced behaviour from childhood.

 

Unfortunately in 99 cases out of 100 men respond wrongly.

[tup]

Aye, they jump onto that emotional rollercoaster both feet first.

 

In fact a lot of males come away with it themselves these days, 'in touch with their feelings' they call it. I call it pathetic.

 

I'm a-emotional, I don't feel any emotions, ever.

[tightbreeks]

mrs breeks casts up stuff from yonks ago, or she makes it up, to try and take advantage of my good nature. i'm such a sap, i always back down and she usually gets her own way unless she's talking shite and she knows it.

[tup]

That's what the waterworks are all about, getting their own way, manipulation of the situation.

 

Disna wash at all with me, once you're onto it, you're onto it, then they lash out in some other way.

 

I'm impervious to it, which apparently makes me a bastard.

[E-P-K]

Avoiding red wine is a paramount for a hassle free, argumentless Xmas,

 

2 glasses of Cabernet Sauvignon and tears that would breach the walls of Jerico begin.

In my experience, bringing up stuff fae way back when is purely the preserve of the burd. If eh try the same, eh'm apparently changing the subject and being a bastard.

[Nespa]

Nae arguments whatsoever until boxing night at 3am! The missus as usual buys heels that are obviously 2 high for her so I spend from the 22nd running after her hole in pubs n clubs as she can hardly walk! So on leaving the night club she then advises that she left her jacket and scarf in clock room and will I go back in to get them!

As i was blazing p1ssed off Nespa came into effect and she is politely told to do one and go get them herself! An argument kicks off, nothing wild like but then some random local ned says something to me so I go for him! Nothing really happens as it

[tup]

I had a huge argument on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

 

Thank fuck it's all done with now.

 

Only New Year to get out the road, which is just embarrassing with all that Scottish music and pish, I'll be fast asleep as usual at midnight, fuck celebrating a meaningless event and shaking people you dinna like by the hand, shake them by the throat more like.

Fairly typical female bahviour. I don't suppose there was any thought of an apology coming from you?

[tup]

bahviour

 

 

The arguments I had were neither solicited by me, nor encouraged.

 

I will however defend myself, without recourse to emotion.

[Pash]

Had a good old fashioned bust-up with my brother on Christmas Eve at the pub.

 

I love families.

i don't cry to get my way.

 

but somewhere in my 30s, i figured out i could get snippy if i was trying to get lots done with a lack of sleep. and then it dawned on me that if it were only me that seemingly felt like i wanted to stick someone's head through a wall, it probably had little if anything to do with anyone else, and was just me.

 

so i learned to remove myself -- from the room if i felt that way. go have a smoke, shovel the drive, do something in another room, take a hot shower, or just go to sleep. almost anything works. some things work particularly well. snapping at someone doesn't. i come back to what i was doing when my mood has passed.

these things sort themselves out over time.

[tup]

Maybe that's dawned on Nespa now, struck him, he should watch himself just in case.

[Henry]

Advice from a grandfather wouldn't go amiss for Nespa.

[tup]

He'd be cuckoo not to accept such timely advice, grandfathers and their advice tick all the boxes, take heed young Nespa.

[Dynamo]

Kelt how did Christmas day go?

 

You been turfed out?

That's what happens when you try and get the operator to reverse the charges.

Nice and quiet Christmas this year. I've certainly been caught in the middle of the Christmas fight from hell in the past and now I'm just happy getting through the Christmas period without that ever happening again.
