In-Laws

Today we met up with all of Master's siblings, His dad and His dad's wife. There were 11 of us total. There is my father-in-law, his wife, His brother, His brother's wife and two kids, His three sisters and then of course us. We all met up at a resturant and had dinner together. There was a lot of talking and everyone was having a great time. Well, everyone except my father-in-law's wife.

When Master was 18 He got into a verbal argument with His dad's wife. And she has held it as a grudge this entire time. Master came back in contact with that side of His family about 3 years ago. He had dropped all contact with them for over a decade. He stepped back in and everyone has had open arms.

Well, like I said He had that argument with His dad's wife when He was 18. He is 37 years old now. So basically round it up to 20 years and she still can't stand the sight of Him. She is upset that He is back in the picture and doesn't like it one bit.

Apparently she didn't even know we were going to be there. His dad said "all the kids" and left it at that. Apparently she didn't think that included the eldest of the 5 kids. When she first walked in she was saying something and then she saw Master. She immediately shut up, sat down and didn't say another word the entire time. We were there for two hours and she didn't say a fucking word.

No one let it bother them, including His dad and the two children he has with his wife. Everyone else was having a great time.

Before we all left though His dad wanted a picture taken of everyone. First he wanted a picture of just him and his five children. It's the first picture of the six of them together, ever. Master didn't even know He had two younger sisters. He didn't know because He hadn't been talking to that side of the family. So when He jumped back in about 3 years ago He found out. When the picture was taken His dad's face just lit up. He was so happy to have all five children in the same place, at the same time, and actually have a picture of it.

After that picture was taken myself, my brother-in-law's wife and their two children also joined the picture. It felt good to be included. My father-in-law's wife refused to be in any of the pictures. So you know what my father-in-law did? He made her take the pictures. HA!

We have also been invited down to His brother's house before winter hits so we can all get together again and have a family cookout.

It was a great time and I'm really glad we were able together with everyone.
