Dealing with Deplorable Family and Friends

Their beer was a big selling point a while ago. But with so many microbrews and IPAs in America, the gap in quality has closed. Of course financially Czech beer is more bang for your buck but you’ll definitely find better beer on tap at many bars in America than at a typical place in the CR.

Food is normally some kind of pork with bread dumplings. It’s very rich, heavy and bland. They normally throw on a tiny bit of vegetables to make it appear to be a balanced meal.

To put Czech cuisine into perspective, the traditional Christmas meal of Czechs is carp. An absolutely shitty, horrible, bottom feeding fish.

So on the other end of the spectrum, what if this is your family?

Even beyond the sexism, like, anyone who has ever come into contact with kids knows that that little boy is a massive favorite to be way, way less peaceful than the older girls.

But ewww, the girls would be all gossipy, or (gasp) asking the boys to do take out the garbage or something! Yuck.

That said, whether this is harmlessly funny or borderline abusive depends a lot on the family. Hard to tell in a vacuum.

I think it’s gross and there is zero chance I’d allow it if I had a family.

Those kids don’t get it even if it is a failed joke. JFC.

Gotta be honest. I don’t get it.

Is it that there’s peace on Earth now that women can’t talk? Seems pretty dumb.

Right?

Just thinking about it given we are often discussing the other end of the extreme. Both suck.

Of course the dude is a Christmas tree farmer.

The writing is getting too obvious.

I just don’t see how the mother goes along with it.

I suppose this is some super-crazy Christian family where the wife is old-school subservient.

What would have been harmlessly funny is just having the three kids gagged and both parents all smiley about their “peace”.

You can’t rule out that the mother was behind the whole thing

Gagged different from tape over one’s mouth.

Seeing kids with socks shoved in their mouths is a bit more disturbing imo.

But I do agree with your overall message as it turns the pictures from one of sexism to one that parents can relate to.

She was.

Conservative women love being treated like shit. It’s the only rational reason to continue being one.

That’s quite the heal-turn edit!

You want your neighbor to shut up.

Guaranteed it was nothing close to this

I def agree with this and was just looking for a cheap punchline. Illustrating me getting the sentiment (and perhaps inspired by it), I just did something similar for Christmas for my mom this year.

She’s a widow and I’m an only child. I run errands for her 2-3 times a weeks as well as do any honey-do’s necessary when I stop in and maintain the yards and the like. There wasn’t really anything to get her that she needs or wants materially (last year we got her a new TV) so what I did was I found clipart images of the things that I cook for her occasionally and drop off (chicken strips, alfredo, fajitas, soup, etc) and made a binded booklet with coupons for each item uploaded online via office depot.

It’s a throwback to what I did as a child (I think I was offering massages at the time) except I had it made with glossy cardstock and the like. There’s a Merrry Christmas cover and a second page saying each item to be procured is at the expense of the issuer. I was going to have it perforated but I don’t think she’s actually going to want to rip anything out of it.

Quite a thoughtful and sentimental gift. Hope she likes it.
