Thanksgiving Day Drama

It wouldn’t be a holiday without some kind of nonsense drama started by my MIL. Who else has a story to share?

My husband wanted to bring our 2 dogs to his parents house for Thanksgiving since we were going to be out all day long. We have 2 little Pekingese fluff balls. I want to make it clear these are not Rottweilers or some other huge breed. They have their own dog and then my sister in law brought her dog. 4 dogs total in the house. Well our one dog is younger, gets crazy, and barks at his sisters dog whenever we get together. It’s just how he is around other dogs. Eventually they all settle down.

Well...they had to make it a huge ordeal as if our little Pekingese was going to attack his sisters dog. Everyone took turns holding the dog. Then they wanted to close them off in one of the rooms upstairs. Later on my MIL whispers to me so whose idea was it to bring the dogs? Then she’s telling my FIL that it was his sons idea not their daughter in laws...ummm was this a conversation you guys were having without us? Obviously.

Today I get texts from my MIL about how stressed their dog and my SIL’s dog is and they couldn’t leave their side all day. Really? As if all this was my fault? Why doesn’t she talk to her son if she’s so concerned? Why am I always brought into the middle? I cannot stand her!!! The holidays are only starting!!! Yay!
