I know what you mean. This past Saturday we had the annual birthday bash for our daughters (their birthdays are 2 weeks apart). We do this every year - Rj smokes some ribs and we make baked beans, then everyone is asked to bring some specialty of theirs. We always invite his mom, brother, sister, and various members of his family. We also invite my mother and stepfather, my dad , his girlfriend and their two daughters, my brother and his wife and kids, and a few various friends.

Well, the problem lies in that dh's family REALLY looks down on my family. I mean (gasp!!!) my parents are d-i-v-o-r-s-e-d. My mother and stepfather are fine except that they are "backward country hicks". My dad and his seemingly endless run of girlfriends rub them the wrong way too, and now that he has had not one but two new children with his latest they REALLY frown on him. So anyway the party ended up being my inlaws in one room, my dad and his little family in another, my mother and my other friends all on the back porch AND NEVER DID THE THREE GROUPS MIX!!! Then my SIL had the audacity to complain that I was spending too much time talking to my family, and that Rj was doing all the cooking (Hey, the BBQ is his domain, not mine!), and that I was not a good enough hostess! The house was not as clean as it should have been, the garden was a mess, the grass was too high...

Next year we have already decided it - there will be no party at our house. We are renting the pool up at Fairmont State.They rent the small indoor pool for about the same amount of money we spent on getting ready for this bash this year. We will have cake, ice cream, and pizza and that is it. I won't have to worry about cleaning the house top to bottom, nobody can critisize how the yard looks, and the focus will finally be back on what it is supposed to be on - the KIDS!!!

Ok, that vent brewed for a few days. I feel much better now 8)

I don't like the "pizzzzzing moaning groaning attitudes" from some of my sweet family members and afew others. This was not my DH. He don't like that stuff either,grumps!
I was told yesterday that all I'm interested in was my quilting and my provisional patent. (Not True) I was asked about it twice by the person last week,so I don't get it. I was told that I had to have attention,that is was all about ME! (Not True) at all far from it. I deleted my photos on my 360 page,my two blog videos that was all about ME! I get really hurt by this type of attitude. People can try to drain the happiness from you at times. News Flash here everyone Kathy is going to sew when ever Kathy wants to sew. I do have a life apart from my quilting so I just don't get it at all. My Life my happiness I'm doing what I Love to do period. Simple as this:""You just can never do enough to make some people happy."" They need to step down from thier high horse and get a happy cheerful life don't tell me how to run & live mine.
Kathy's Big Pet Peeve now.
Gone Quilting! :)
sorry for the vent

My computer going out on me with "the blue screen of death". I then have to shut down and start all over again. It can happen once a day or once an hour. :evil: :evil: :evil:

Just in general.... I hate !!!!


Web pages with the font / type so small I can not read what is written... I no longer even bother trying to read the font. I also hate when there is so much advertisment on the page you cannot read the information you are interested in.



What do you hate???
