Well tonight's gonna be a shitshow.
In brief, bro is coming down to the bellarine for dins, we've had a massive falling out over a bunch of shit, I'm gonna be expected to cook, wasn't told this was happening, shouldn't let the ol' girl cook for them (not fair on her / bit risky in her condition, which bro doesn't care about), bro and ol' boy can't cook, I can't stand bro and his acute NPD bs, gonna be guilt tripped (ol' boy's gonna crack the shits) if I'm not there or even if I am because I'll call out bullshit.
So, there's gonna be a lot of tension either way.
Not gonna 'win' this one. Winning in this sense is just a pleasant evening, which it won't be. I just wanna go to the beach for dins in solitude and have a steak sammich and pat some doggos but that will be inflammatory behaviour.
I’m so sorry, that’s a really crappy situation to be in. Could they at least be persuaded to get takeaway perhaps?
