Today, I had to break up a fistfight between my wife and mother. Apparently, my mom heard that I finally got the great paying job of my dreams, and told my wife I'd finally kick her "useless ass to the curb." We have to spend the holidays together. FML

Today, my dad and I got into an argument, and he ended up calling me a son of a bitch. My mom heard and started arguing with him over him calling her a bitch. Three hours later, I'm now staying at my gran's house with my mom and hoping her threats of a divorce weren't for real. FML

Today, I broke up with my girlfriend. After breaking the news to my parents, I heard my dad mutter when I left, "Damn it, I liked her better than him." My mother didn't protest. FML

Today, I went on the road for work for the first time in a very long time. I was enjoying lunch with coworkers when my phone got bombarded with calls and texts. Turns out my wife and my mother had gotten into a fight within two hours of me being away. FML

Today, I was fired from my job. Why? Because my boss has been dating my newly divorced mother, and he didn't want family get-togethers to be "awkward." FML

Today, I had to break up with my girlfriend on her request because she "didn't have the heart to do it." Within twenty minutes I'd received 4 calls from mutual friends, including my best friend, telling me what a jerk I am. And one from my mom. FML

Today, my boyfriend just told me that his mom told him to break up with me, and that she would pay him to do it. His mom is a bitch. FML

Today, my mother bitched me out for filing divorce papers against my abusive husband. According to her, it's a "slap in God's face". She's the one who's divorced two husbands so far because they weren't getting job promotions fast enough to support her hoarding habit. FML

You could kick your mom to the curb and not invite her over for holidays.

He obviously loves his wife, his mom needs to know her place. They likely have children and the wife is likely a stay at home mother who supported her husbands dreams so the mom has to go

Thanksgiving - in November, that's next month... Christmas - in December, the month after... That's not enough time for cat fights to subside into eye rolls and nasty comments...

That's a terrible situation to be in. If I ever get married, I hope that my husband and my parents actually like each other.

you really dont "have" to spend the holidays with her. i was never happier than when i realized that i didnt "have" to spend time with people i didnt like, or that were disrespectful to me or my partner, just because i was related to them.

Yes, Someone else gets it! You don't HAVE to do much of anything in life. You simply have to make a choice based on priorities and which are top for you. Personally, wife comes first to me.
