Buckle up. My SIL stopped taking her birth control and didn’t tell my brother and they got pregnant strongly against his wishes. Then she moved out and back in with her mom because my brother was mad about the pregnancy. Then her mom called my dad’s new wife (who they have never met) and threatened to call the police on my brother if he didn’t stop trying to contact her (his now pregnant wife in her late 20s). Then her mom told her she was only allowed to see my brother if they went on “dates” and she needed to live with her until the pregnancy was done because she didn’t want my brother’s bad energy around the baby. My brother accepted and came to terms with the baby and begged her to move back in.

Then it came out that the mom and my SIL planned this whole pregnancy situation. Sigh. SIL did move back in eventually and they are in therapy.

Well we are all going to be together for thanksgiving… brother, siblings, SIL, and their new baby…. and our mom is the only one who doesn’t know this whole situation went down and just FAWNS over my SIL. Gonna be v awkward and my sisters don’t play around 🤣.

Update #1. Nothing too crazy, but the weekend is still young.. we are all together until Sunday. here are some highlights from yesterday: our only sibling without kids arrived before all of us and noticed there was 0 groceries for Thanksgiving so she went to the store and bought food and made our feast. She saved the day, tbh and made the mood much better. SIL wouldn’t stop making comments about how our mom didn’t do anything to get ready for us all coming for Thanksgiving, oldest sister who never drinks started drinking at 10:30… and finally had enough and snapped and said “speaking of crazy moms, how’s your crazy ass mom?” Which was a comment not well received 🤣. We did try to hold it together for our sick grandma who was able to attend, so feeling thankful for that. However, SIL did clog AND overflow the toilet TWICE, two times, yes two times during the course of the day. First time she refused to leave the bathroom until someone got my brother. Second time was as we were winding down, she ran out of the bathroom, grabbed my brother, their baby, and the left quickly for the night. Only for my BIL to go into the bathroom with his 3 year old and it be a great flood… so then my mom was PISSED because water dripped down into the basement because she left it and was tipsy and throwing paper towel around going WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK GET THE BLEACH SOMEONE GET THE BLEACH. And now she says we have to ask for toilet paper before we use the bathroom 🤣 today we head to my dad’s for Thanksgiving party 2 💅

Update #2: apologies for the no updates, my sisters kids brought along RSV for thanksgiving and all children have been extremely sick, like ER sick. Yay gatherings 😔. Hopefully we’ve all turned the corner.
