49. My son has a school play coming up

Fri Nov 15, 2024, 09:29 AM

Friday

my DH's sister wants to come and see it. She loves my kids, but we are certain that she voted for the motherfucker.

DH still hasn't answered her text about it...I told him he can tell her to come, as I have another thing for the Saturday night performance, so I'll be attending Sunday afternoon with our other two sons.

But he's not sure he wants to have her there.

Again, she loves our kids...but right now, it's too soon.

We're also glad that this play is that weekend, so that we don't have to go to the big thanksgiving dinner on that weekend.

So, yeah.

Both of my brothers are magats as well. I don't speak to them. No reason to.
