I’d tell a white lie and say the fiancé’s family were footing the bill for the wedding. That would mean you wouldn’t be putting your daughter and her fiancé in the gun. But that would only work if the in-laws-to-be aren’t known to your extended family. If they’re from the same community, they’d be on the phone immediately.

Sheesh EB .... really poorly thought out investments if I may say.

In what appeared to be a shift in tone, NSW premier Gladys Berejiklian told reporters “we now have to live with Delta one way or another”.
Just weeks earlier, she had said the community “couldn’t live reasonably” with the highly transmissible variant.

That's messy, EB!

Dodge, You can pick your friends and you can pick your wife but you cant pick the family that come with them...not that I can talk my relo's are equally as dismal in most cases. There should be a trade week for relo's....

Gold. I could think of a couple I'd trade out. Although I doubt I'd get much in return. Maybe a relo Council Cleanup lol.

To be fair, I dare say such feelings are probably mutual lol.

Cap, Got another story thats even worse but I'll save that for a later day.....

Good God !! ... worse than that?  Enabling failure is not one of my virtues.  

Not mine either but Mrs E is a soft gentle soul who takes family matters to heart and I have to tread carefully with my more direct approach...

In Italian there is a saying, "ogni casa ha la sua croce" which translated means every house has its own cross (or crucifix) ie every house has its own problems. I'm sure most of us can dig up some stories that would make interesting reading. Perhaps thats a topic for another thread

As Thry said its very hard to get everything perfect in life, that new thread would be interesting reading, you always think the grass is greener until you hear about someone elses life...
