I feel SO badly for my sister right now! She lives with her boyfriend and his parents are visiting from 10 hours away for 4 days, they arrived on Wednesday.
Evidently the mother has decided to model herself after a certain type of PITA: She wants to be entertained but can't really think what would be entertaining for her so she has decided to just pout. The weather was bad so their New Year's Eve plans got nixed and they don't have cable/satellite so TV watching is out. Evidently because they couldn't go out last night she really wanted to see Dick Clark and just sat pouting all night because she couldn't watch it (meanwhile they have WiFi and she has a laptop so why didn't she try to watch it online???).
She's bored but she doesn't know what she wants to do, she loves shopping but no one else does so I guess it's a power struggle. Why don't you have cable? Why don't you get XYZ paper delivered instead of this one? Why are you serving that for breakfast? Oh, and she has been known to flip tables over while playing card or board games because she is such a sore loser, so that is out as well. She had a pouting fit because she came in last on Wii bowling the first night.
Sounds like a spoiled 5 year old. I told my sister to grab a flask and keep herself "medicated" until they leave!!!
