my christmas rant (not about my skids but friends of my parents)

Ok so my parents were foster parents for a while and got close to one kid. Her mom got her back and went on to have 3 more girls. So my parents stayed in contact like almost on a daily basis and she ands her new dh moved to moms town.

So anyway they invite this women and her kids and new dh to almost every family event. Last year at Christmas they started saying as soon as they got there they weren't staying long b/c we had some wine and other special adult drinks. (please not like they don't drink I've know them now for about 6 years) but they didn't leave.

Well thus year I'm hosting Christmas and my mom just asked ud she could invite them. Now I really don't want them there and mom knows this mainly b/c they don't parent their kids at all!

But if I say say no um a bitch if I say yes I'm miserable and don't want to have to watch her 4 girls while she sits on her fat ass eating!
And as far as their family I have no idea why they don't go to her sisters or HER FAMILY?

Ugh!

I know how you feel I've had to tell my sister and her partner to stopping inviting their friends to Christmas dinner at my house.

I put my foot down the year she invited 5 people (who I had never met). It caused a rift for awhile but I only had to say something the one time. I told her when you have Christmas you can invite whoever you want but as long as I'm hosting it's strictly for family and it's rude of you, as my a guest, to invite people into my home, basically strangers who I don't even know.

After that she and her partner always have an open house on Christmas eve.

Hosting is very important to me. I fought for it for a while. We moved to a way better house and hosting means more than just hosting with everything that has happened this yyear

Kind of rude for her to want to invite a whole other family. I used to take a friend with me to my dad's (after asking, of course), as she had no family but that was one person.
