I had the boys mixed up because they haven't grown at all this year... they aren't very tall.
So you have Eva in a Montessori program? There was a Montessori school near our house when I was younger... we never associated with those children - they were different.
I would check my email if I thought there was a chance there would be a picture of the children waiting for me...
I'm sorry I didn't buy the boys anything for Christmas, but it is so hard to know what they like when I never see them.
The above are actual statements, all said to me, by the same family member, in less than 2 hours.
And how was your weekend?

What? No justifiable homicide?
Glad you made it out the other side without throttling anyone. ;0)
That's the definition of passive-aggressive right there. I get barbs like that from time to time, too, but not in such great quantity. You're dealing with a pro there, Kristin.
if that family member is still walking about with the same facial features as prior to the aforementioned two hours, you can have a medal - I'll make you one!
Good god. Did you throw anything at her? Here. Use my monitor.
Reminds me of my MIL.... When we asked her to watch our daughter for the first time she said....."She would probably be scared because she really doesn't know me!" The woman lived 20 minutes away! The second time we asked her to watch her she said she was really busy and would get back to us.....that was 15 years ago......
Whooooeeeeee, a nice dose of passive aggressive with some old-fashioned angry martyr thrown in for good measure. Nice...
I was wondering where my MIL had go to!
...and you took this family member out back and shot them, right? Heh.
HEy??? Could we share the same MIL? But all said while consuming a gallon of vodka!!!
All I will tell you, in the interest of family harmony, is that is wasn't my MIL...
But, Pend, I opted for the gallon of vodka once home! ;-)
Don't break throw Christina's monitor....throw Christina.
Were you laughing or raging inside?
Oh. Dear. God. My guess is that its a MIL.
Oh my. Did you give them a black eye? At least the finger?
Lucky you. And said family member wonders why she/he doesn't see the kids that often?

How dare they make you look so crazy! Um, that's not permanent is it?
grrrr ...
(sorry, that's the best i could do - everyone else already took the funny lines)
I feel your pain. Really.
"Well, you can just pay for them (ha, ha, ha)".
Said by my evil family member when Brett and I were cautioning her about the fact that if she has lap band surgery, she will need expensive supplements to get her nutrition. Of course, we only brought this up because she wants to go to Tiajuana to have it done so it will save her $$$$!!!
See, you're not crazy.
They are.

Awesome. You've gotta love someone who can say those things. (Or not.)
Oi. That sucks. It's pretty obvious why that person doesn't get the see your kids very often ... wow.
A member of your family or perhaps of the Munsters??
Wow, and the question on everyone's lips is:
Is the woman (and you know it's a woman) still alive? Or did you dispose of her in the basement?
You'd never get convicted if you did it.
I probably would've punched the guy/gal in the throat with those comments.
She's clearly lost control of the inner monologue...
Has anyone suggested medication for Tourettes?
Everyone has someone like this in their family! it helps the rest of the fam feel normal!!
My MIL says crazy shit like that (we call them sueisms)...I just call her out if I have the energy, other times I save it for later to share with my friends.....over drinks!

Good lord. That doesn't even qualify as passive aggressive. I'm just amazed you're not locked up for murder right now.
Good God, that could only come from a MIL. I got shivers, my dear, just reading it. :)
Family. Can't live with 'em. Can't kill 'em. *Sigh*.
Are we related? Are you sure that wasn't my mother??
OMG!! That's shity!!
Oh shit. What did you do to deserve this? How come you still speak to this idiot?
AD
WOW, I think we may be related!!!
Y'all (y'all? because I am Britney Spears?) seriously, it wasn't my MIL... but yes, an in-law it be.
And I have totally given up on trying to get along with this person... it is the same person who prefaces Eva's name with "Chinese".
Now, when something totally obnoxious comes flying out of the mouth, I just shrug and make a weird noise.
And Hugh and I really do laugh about it... because, this time, it took less than 15 seconds for the first insult to fly and that, my friends, is a sick talent!
Just an FYI, I just updated my old Forks & Chopsticks blog (I just coudn't stay away for so much longer). Hope you can stop by!
Hmm, bet I can guess who might have made those comments. Sounds like grandmaspeak. Why do grandmas have to be so snarky?!
Wow, families say the darnedest things. You wouldn't accept stuff like from a friend, but family members feel like they can just take pot shots at ya.
you really do look insane in that photo.
Don't family members say the darndest?!?
The best come from In-laws, cause you really just have to take it all in and smile. Well, at least I do.
Vodka is always the best remedy.
first let me say lmao @ all your friends ...and I agree with Glenda ... she needs meds or a muzzle maybe ?
mother in law say that huh? lol
I saw that, nikki, ya' ho.
wow. Did you spend the weekend with my Grandma by any chance?
OMG block that person's email. Ha ha. How about a send the needy to therapy fund alongside that college fund. Yay therapy!
Lisa
And then you stabbed them with a fork?
And by "different" she meant better, right?
I think it would be funny to send this person random photos of other people's children- and keep switching them just to mess with her. Because nothing is funnier than messing with people like this.
OMG! Montessori? What are you people, a bunch of aliens?!? ;-)
Talk about a guilt trip!
I would be batshit crazy, too...
So much to think about. we will be broke by the time this is all over.
Hey, you ok? Haven't heard from you in awhile. Write, call, scream, anything!!!!
jeezzuzz...
you know what i say...pepper spray.
Your answer to that last statement should have been "they absolutely love staying away from you!"
That beast of a human needs a life and a good therapist!
Mean. A person who wants to create confluct and upset, or who just dosnt realise how her comments affect other people. Sounds unbelievable, but some people genuinly just dont realise what they're actually saying.
