Oh man, I unleashed on the broom rider (MIL) last night. An awkward start to the long weekend.

So many people don't stand up to their MILs/FILs. As a kid, my mum always used to complain to my sister and I about things her MIL would say or do, and my dad would either stick up for his mum, or pretend that nothing was wrong.

Thank you. It was something I really needed to get off my chest. Maybe not the best time to do that during a family gathering though.

Shouldn't laugh but lol. Seems like easter is just one of those times of the year that gets tense for some reason.

Sometimes people need to realise that they're being dicks.
