So my sister and her other half are coming around to visit (for the first time since January) Its mainly to swap presents and give the kids some time to play with each other...you know...Christmas being family time and all.

Had arranged it for 2pm but then she asks if they could come around at 1pm cos there's a game he wants to watch. Initially thought they wanted to leave early to get home in time to watch it, but i check the times and the kick off is at 1pm !

Cheeky wanted to come around here and watch it on our TV while we kept his kid entertained !!!!

Told them the likelyhood of that happening..haven't heard from them as yet !

Relatives !!!!
 
Don't see a problem with that myself.
Crack open the beers and watch the game with him.
Too late now though being as you told him where to stuff the turkey!!! :)
 
Buy them the cheapest nasty VCR for christmas, and get some Scotch Tapes (with the Skeletons on)

Problem solved.

Don't watch football. Wouldn't support his team if i did. In fact i couldn't think of anything more boring that sat in front of the gogglebox for 2 hours.

I'd rather bond with my nephew, he can turn into his Dad all he pleases, just not in my house ;)

He's probably not, he's been forced to spend two hours being a father rather than spending it in the pub while someone else brings his child up.

Grown up responsibility...part time Dads...all that good stuff.

He's clearly just a miserable scrooge at Christmas. :D

LOL

Or i'm just putting family first over whats on the bloody TV. Expecting us to babysit for him...shushing our own kids so he can hear whats happening.

How about we left the living room to him while we went and sat in the dining room and kept the noise down ?

Christmas...its about TV not children ! Right ?
 
Let him watch football whilst you do your "bonding"

tbh though this sounds more like you have deeper issues with him and tbh it's not really your business how somebody brings their child up as long as they're not abusing the kid,etc obviously

Should we keep the noise down and not get in the way while he watches football on my TV ?

Or is it permissable to carry on as normal in my own home ?
 
Bond with teh wifey !!!!!!!111111111

Oh wait :(

Maybe a little cheeky, but you don't watch football so clearly don't understand (So he supported Liverpool or Pompey):D

Have to agree with Stolly, I'd have told them where to stuff that too, bloody cheek.

Thankyou !

Tbh, its not about the TV, its about him expecting us to keep his kid entertained for two hours when he's obviously got something better to do. Also expecting us to keep our own kids quiet while he gets on with it.
 
I think he might be secretly gay.

If you describe what is happening as 22 men running around getting sweaty and swapping clothes with each other, it could sound like porn.

It's hardly a big deal, you do what you want to do and let him watch football, if he doesn't like the noise you're making then tough

I understand it's your home but imo you're trying to make it into a bigger issue than it really is and you want to force him to do what you want to do. Can your sister not look after the child whilst you lot get on with things?

lol not really...in fact i've spent more time typing in this thread than i previously had spent thinking about it...its not really worth the effort, but at least its padded my post count by a couple...

Off to do something more useful

TTFN !
 
Mountain - molehill.

Don't you want to see your sister and her kids. Just stuff him and let him get on with it.

Edit: Exactly. It's hardly a big deal. You barely see eachother (though I'm sure you make loads of effort and its entirely his doing) and there happens to be a 90 minute game on. It's not like he's said 'keep the rugrats quiet when im watching the game will you mate'.

methinks you've got deeper issues with this chap. Is he a very manly man?

Ant :cool:
