Okay - this is the first Christmas that husband and I are spending together. Right after we got married, we agreed that we'd spend the 24th with my family and 25th with his family. Perfect right?
Well, it was.. Until MIL planned to host her mom side of the family's Christmas party at my house. Yes, you read that right. At my house. Did she ask my permission? No, she didn't. She just told husband about it - and I think husband had a memory lapse on our agreement.
Husband then said that we'd spend the 24th with my family. Then right after dinner, we'd rush home to where the party is. I know for a fact that its weird to have a party where the hosts are no where to be found - right? MIL thought so too!
MIL then announces at a family dinner 'Dapat, nagtanong muna si (my name) kung ano ang plans, kagaya ni DIL - she asked before kung ano ang plano. Tsaka, pag kinasal na - ang babae dapat magadjust sa pamilya ng lalake' She then goes on and on about certain daughters she knows who don't join the family affair anymore. And to think that I am just nearby!! She chooses to make parinig!! WHERE IS THE FREAKING MANNERS IN THAT??!?
She's really something else, I tell you.
Something else!! :)
Please pray with me - that I may be given the wisdom to answer her back with wit and just the right amount of sarcasm.
Please - send me the wisdom to answer with wit, politeness and truth.
