2 1/2 days more! We are 12 in the house and I need my space and privacy. How’s your holidays so far?

@whowasthatmaskedman get well soon!

@BloviatingBuffoon Thats the plan. The middle of January I will be back to what passes for normal around here.😷

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow we have enough rooms for 20 people . Still you see them everyday during eating times

@BloviatingBuffoon I did it for my 2 youngest sisters (14 and 16 years ypunger than me) when they were kids, them my nieces after they were born.
If nieces ask me to be with them during the holidays, I do so. Otherwise I stay at home, pretending like it's any other week of the year.

@TheRealBarbossa i cant wait to have that option too

@BloviatingBuffoon You're a good mom, making those sacrifices.

@HowtoDestroyAngels thank yoi

@NativePortlander1970 my mother/father in law

@NativePortlander1970 they do contribute but I dont feel I m in control. Everyone has an opinion

@Starcrossed lol I wish it will change at some point. It’s been consistently hellish 😂

@BloviatingBuffoon filter!
Also i always lose weight everytime i’m on vacation here. (Thats the only positive thing)

@SomeMichGuy thanks a lot!

@BloviatingBuffoon Hey, you are welcome, but my encouragement comes from afar--you are living the nightmare! 😉

@Degbeme sometimes its 20 lol

@FrugalNoodle well it will be like this until my son becomes a teen or my inlaw dies (i don’t wish that)

@BloviatingBuffoon There can't be a different handling of it, like being held elsewhere that can be over in one night?

@Keeper i just dont want to talk to them

@BloviatingBuffoon I remember similar posts about this time every year. You have my sympathy 🙏

@YoMomma 2 more hellish days!

@BloviatingBuffoon ay 😬 have fun??? 😳😬

@Huckleberry42 or just shopping privileges. I know my husband will not react nowadays so im doing it little by little 🤣

@MayorOfCrushtown yep
