My brother in law is a great guy. He’s got a successful small business, has two awesome kids, and treats my sister (his wife) really well.
However, we we all gather at my parents house for Christmas every year, he INSISTS on putting on the Rocky movies allllllll day. Not only do they have to be on the tv, but he wants to be sure that we’re watching the movies and paying attention to them. They can’t just be on in the background.
He starts right when we wake and and we have to open presents while the first movie plays. Then he puts on Rocky II, then III, and so on. They play throughout the entire day. And the volume of the tv is always SO loud. Anytime we leave to go into another room to try and do something else, he gives us a guilt trip that we’re not participating in the family tradition.
I can’t take it anymore. I don’t find the movies to be bad, but I feel this tradition doesn’t have much to do with Christmas and I don’t like the movies enough to have to have them on every single year.
I’m also not the only one on my family who wants this tradition to end. What can we do?
