Christmas drama!

So tomorrow we are going to my parents for lunch. My wife had the bright idea to make a salad instead of buying because she wants to do something "special".

So here I am peeling potatoes by hand with a knife. She won't let me use the peeler and she even hid my Nintendo 3DS until I'm done.

I'm pissed off for two reasons, one it was her idea to make salad to take for my parents and two I have done enough chores to earn 90min of Nintendo time which I saved up all week. I'm going fast as I can and don't give a big fuck if I leave some skin on

Anyone else got some Christmas bullshit they are dealing with?

3DS time? Forget the salad and go Buy a switch bro show her you don't need that hidden 3DS!
 
I'm cooking myself Christmas dinner for the first time tomorrow, since the rest of my family is in Australia.

I reckon I've got a good 50/50 chance of inadvertantly poisoning myself.
 
Also, I just realised that those potatoes are boiled. This is a task that should take no more than 10 minutes. Honestly, I feel like your wife should leave you and spend the weekend with me.
 
Why not just leave the skin on those little potatoes? Why not just use big potatoes, skin them, then dice them up?

Work smarter, not harder.
 
should have scored those potats before boiling mafukin skin would peel right off clean but i mean you could still kinda i mean i donno give it a try
 
What exactly is the issue with using the peeler?

And wow, your wife is your mom. If you ask nicely enough, she'll let you get ice cream on the way home!
 
One of the things I most certainly do NOT miss about marriage is any sense of having to justify how I choose to spend my free time.

Hope your wife enjoys her "special" salad. :P

You ought to sit there in the kitchen while she's making the salad playing your 3DS. Look up every now an then like:

What a wonderful holiday I'm sure that would be. :P
 
Pretty sure this is a troll thread, he says his wife won't let him use a peeler yet right there in the pic there is one there thats clearly got potato residue on it lol.
 
I remember one year my cousins let us come visit. What they didn't tell us was that they would be leaving the next day to spend Christmas with their other family. What we got was an empty house that wasn't ours. Not to mention the Christmas Turkey was a Butterball Turkey. Yes, we baked a whole lot of lunch meat that day. I still remember as we didn't visit each other since that happened. I remember my aunt bringing out the pie we brought and handing it to my mom.

There is some current drama. My mom didn't go to my wedding, my anniversary was yesterday, so she sent me a message today wishing me a "Merry Christmas Eve". Who does that? What's so special about Christmas Eve?

If a grown man has to earn videogame time from his wife, I cannot even begin to describe how much you failed in life.
Anyway, happy holidays to you.
