OT: Name some things that drive you fucking nuts

I get possibly wanting the kids to stay on the same team.

When I played as a kid, there was another kid being raised by a single mom. At his mom's request, he and I were always on the same team because she was unable to get him to most practices and maybe only about 50% of games because of work. In that case though it was a "marriage of convenience" since my parents could pick him up and drop him off or watch him before/after if necessary.

In your case though, I say screw 'em. Play hardball. If they are that insistent, they stay down because the skater isn't ready. Weakest link and all that.

We have another kid in a similar situation, and we made that request work. The big issue here is that the parents want the other one to move "up" because the first kid did. And he wouldn't have if we only had six "minor" goalies.

Commish is pretty pissed off now. So I think it's a hard line. Possibly both in minor AND on different teams. Which means I don't get him or the other problem child.

Hahahahha, really though, who tries to one over their father in law?! Dude didn't misquote him, he fabricated a conversation. And the fact that his father in law asked him to retract it, and he didn't is incriminating enough. What a tool.

If you can't perform your song during a power outage, you are not a musician.

come home today, my home is filled with acrid smoke.
my mother in law burned the shit out of something at some point during the day, and was too fucking stupid to close the door to her kitchen, turn a fan on, or pretty much anything. or maybe NOT burn the shit out of things. I've been home for 20 minutes and have a headache. That'll take a good week for the smell to dissipate.
that must be four times now that she has filled the house with smoke. fucking idiot.

the fucking idiot is the one who allowed the mother in law in the house in the first place.

Why do you think I moved to Florida away from the family BEFORE having our child?

After a few years, "let's get away from these people" she said

Maybe you can cure her from being an arsonist, they said.

Craigslist is always an adventure.

But the important question here is are you selling any old bicycles?

I love my in laws, get along great with them. My husband got along well with both my parents when they were still alive. Probably because none of them were the 'meddlesome' type.

Could also be that his parents live in Philly, so we don't see them much, just on the phone and Skye occasionally.
