this xmas the inlaws bought us a gift. specifically, they handed us a card with baited breath and big smiles and waited to see our reactions. inside were the words telling us they wanted to plan another hot family holiday to cancun to an all-inclusive resort.
hey, i love me some all-inclusives. my day goes as such: wake up, shower, hit the bar and then the beach. eat some lunch, hit the bar. swim. hit the bar, lay on the beach. read. gossip. hit the bar. get dressed, hit the restaurant and the bar again for good measure. sleep. wake up, rinse and repeat. yes, i could do that for days on end with no complaints. some people [read: my sister] think that i'm a boring person who is too focussed on the bar, but in the circles i spin, this is all par for the course.
anyway, the inlaws have decided that they want all of us to go to el cid in cancun. more importantly, they want to get two big condos for the 9 of us. the kicker? they want the sil to bunk with them while ch and i bunk with his brother, wife, and the fucking two kids aged 6 and 4. yeah, that's right, they expect the two dinks who dont have kids or patience for said kids to bunk with them. they handed this gift to us and ch's brother, so i think that the sil knew about the gift beforehand and was instrumental in room arrangements. {she'd do anything to make sure SHE slept comfortably without disturbance, all while putting us out...why ch fails to see this selfishness is beyond me. hey, i'm all about self preservation, but she takes it to an all new low.}
jesus christ. right away i said to ch that there'd be NO WAY i'd bunk with the family. as it was on the KROOOOZE last year, the sprogs roomed beside us and neither one of the parents had any common sense to shut those fuckers up at 7 am when they insisted on getting up or rearranging balcony furniture. naturally all our balconies were adjoined so we had the pleasure of them running up and down the balconies at all hours and moving chairs and tables around without picking them up. the noise would echo all down the side of the ship and into our room. i'm not much of a sleeper, but let me just tell you that i appreciated the quiet when we were FINALLY away from those twats.
so the inlaws think we all could take turns babysitting the kids, too. uhm, NO. just because they decide to take these kids does not mean that it's up to me to babysit. but right away, i heard my fil say "oh we could all take turns babysitting"...who's holiday is this? riiiiiiiight, the one with strings attached.
