The family drama continues. This year my husbands Zia E decided that Christmas dinner would involve everyone helping out by bringing a dish. Let set this up right. Zia E works for the government but is getting close to retirement. She has 3 kids but they are married and have kids of their own. She and I'm sure her daughter felt that since everyone is older with kids and comes to her house for dinner on Christmas Day - there is something like 30 some people there each time and that isn't including kids. So they decide to ask people to bring something with them to help out with dinner ... oh did that cause the $h*t to hit the fan.
So then we get Zia M saying that she isn't going to make another dish since she slaves to make Christmas Eve dinner and nobody helps her out. Then you have Zia M's son who starts complaining about how much work his mom does and how people should start to help her out. This then gets really carried away with the rest of the family. Now the New Year's Eve dinner is just for the "old" grown-ups and how the Zia E dropped the ball on the Christmas Traditions ... blah, blah, blah. It is become ridiculous. And the person who is making the greatest stink is a dad's construction worker/sometimes college student that is 25yrs old and lives in his parents basement. He has been to several soiree's at our home and my in-laws in which he can't even bring a bottle of wine or something to help out with his free loading.
I make this promise to my future children ... you will not be living in my basement freeloading at the age of 25!
