Hearing Kris’s mom lets me know that Kris does such a accurate impression of her 😂
I know right🤣🤣🤣 Had me rolling the minut she opened her mouth🤣🤣 in the most positive way. Love Kris’s family❤
Kris should do a video of her in character.
Her mom reminds me Chris Jennifer😂
I was thinking the same thing!
She really does try her best to impersonate her, especially her expressions & mannerisms
I love how jay straight out refused to cut out kris's mom's brain lag lmao he's the best
It just says "I didnt" LMAO Loved it
That depends on her Mom's opinion of it. He could have been publicizing her embarrassing moment.
@@eph2vv89only1way he would have checked with her first
Fr bro so true
@@eph2vv89only1wayKris would have vetoed it if her mom wasn't OK with it
As a recovering addict, my family has all been super supportive. When I hosted a holiday party this year I provided hot cocoa, coffee, tea, cider, and egg nog. No one brought alcohol and everyone had a fantastic time. I think it's all in how you approach the subject of what to bring and what tone you set.
Yeah it is definitely whack that the whole family can't stay sober for one dinner.
@@mkaverage4773 agreed
I completely agree💖
But your situation is different, I feel like. She has not mentioned anywhere that her father is attending or that anyone in the family has any issue like that or they are violent after drinks. You can't control how other people choose to spend their holiday, and a lot of people want to chill out after working endlessly the whole year.
@@mkaverage4773nah it’s not because we don’t know the story. She doesn’t like drinkin so she’s gonna look at any kind of drinkin bad. His family might legit let loose and drink on holidays. They may feel like this is my time to drink. That’s not wack they are adults and can do what they want. But hey we don’t know the truth from either side 🤷🏾♀️
I love how all of your family has been saying "scallywag" ever since jess started it 😂
FR
What does scallywag mean?
@@con_el_maestro3544 it means A hole
@@eviestewart1364 is it Scottish or something?
I don't know but that's what Kris and her family have been saying ever since Jess started it instead of A hole
i love how supportive kris's family is with her content and joins her
Couldn't agree more with this one
I’m ur 1k like
This series needs to be named “The Scallywag Salon”. At the beginning: welcome back to another episode of the scallywag salon!
yes! I love this lmao
id love that loll
Hearing your mom compliment us makes me personally really happy. My mom just said that she didn't want to see me...she's in the hospital with cancer and doesn't even want to see me. And I've been crying all day. So thank you momma kris❤❤❤
Praying for you ❤
I am so sorry you have to deal with both of those situations. Sending you some love and a warm internet hug 💛💛🫂🫂🫂🤗🤗
I’m sorry my uncle had cancer and I really miss him so I can’t empathize with a mom with cancer but I know what it feels like to have someone you love that is diagnosed with cancer my prayers go out to you and your mom and I think your mom just doesn’t want you to remember her in a weakened sad state stay strong🥺😢😭🌊
I remember my grandma was really sick and close to passing. I wanted to visit her so bad as a kid but she said ahe didn't want to see me. My heart broke that time but now i understand why. She didn't want me to see her in such a way. Anyway, I hope everything goes well for you and your mom.
sending you a loving hug virtually 💛 you’re a beautiful human, keep your head up luv
I always love when Kris’s family does videos with her❤
Here before this blows up
Frr
ikr! they are so fun to watch :) just kris having a good time with her family
Here before it blows uppp
Fr she literally has the best contact ever
"Just because her father had a problem doesn't mean everyone does."
Yet they can't go one holiday without booze. 😂
I thought the same thing!
Nah fr
EXACTLY MY POINT THEY DO GOT A PROBLEM THEN!!!!
As a sober person who has a serious family history of alcoholism who refuses to allow alcohol in my home, the first story really resonates with me. It's her home, and she is free to not allow that in her home. I always am very open about my rule, but I always provide fun mocktail alternatives, and I'm okay with my friends pregaming. It's a bit much for me to be around a ton of drunk people, but I understand that being sober isn't super common. I think the biggest thing with op is her wording makes her the asshole, but I don't see any issue with asking people not to bring something that you have trama associated with in your home.
I agree. Glad you shared your opinion!
Literally. Also I'm sure they can survive 1 Christmas without alcohol even though there probably going to have other days like new years eves drinking...
They understood that, that's why they hosted the gathering elsewhere. Nowhere was any hint that they intended to drink at OP's house.
No it’s not her home. She has a husband it’s THEIR home. And nobody brought booze to the prudes house. They threw their own party.
The thing is if they are that opposed to an Xmas gathering without booze to the point the sister-in-law arranges her own, it actually makes them sound alcoholic too which just emphasises why she may want a sober Xmas in the first place. Frankly they sound a bit toxic to me. 🚩🚩
I like a drink, but if someone said they're having a booze free party/gathering my response isn't "OMG that's lame!" it's "cool, no problem."
I think this is one of those AITA posts that could have done with a bit more background for clarification sake. But I certainly see no issue with having a sober gathering, particularly if the host has history with alcoholism in the family.
I'm glad to see people standing up for OP in the first one. It's great to see them sticking to their boundaries - especially one with such personal trauma related. It's one night in their own home that they are hosting which is already stressful, to see that your family would be petty enough to choose alcohol and make a rival event speaks volumes. There is always New Years and Boxing Day when they can get smashed, they can go dry for one night to be together as a family.
Yeah seriously
Agreed, and I remember another am I the scallywag where someone wanted to host some kind of holiday meal with only vegetarian (or maybe vegan?) food and the family wasn't on board with it. The general consensus in the comments for that one was yeah YANTA because it's literally one day it's fine they can deal with it.
This kinda feels the same to me. It's one day, they can have a night cap when they go home if they want, if it's impossible for them to have a good time without alcohol then they actually might have a problem
@@clusterbungleI was thinking of the same video but didn’t know for sure if I was remembering it right, so I’m glad you posted this. I agree with y’all. Meat is pretty important to a lot of people during holiday meals, a lot of them centre around meat, so if it’s reasonable for people to skip meat once for a holiday for the sake of loved ones (which was a take I agree with), it’s certainly reasonable to skip booze once.
@@clusterbungleI remember that one and it pisses me off so much because why is this one she’s the scallywag for not wanting them to have booze for one night but the other isn’t for wanting them to eat vegan for one night.
I think she was a scallywag simple because she insulted people who drink alcohol and them for hosting another party in the same day. They can have another party sure she can host a non alcoholic one fine but just like she wanted people to respect her choice of a non alcoholic party she shouldnt disrespect people who drink calling it childish and they need to grow up coz if that was the case then alcohol would be for children but it's not it's for adults
I love how difficult it was for your mom to give a genuine compliment, but I think it was difficult it because I feel like she wanted it to be deeply true so she had to search for something that could genuinely apply to a large group of people. She didn't want anyone left out.
The way kris backtracked after saying "there's no excuse to call your daughter fat"...."after what she's been through" hit a nerve and I panicked for a hot sec like, oh god has she gone through that too?❤
i think she just meant it in a way as, the daughter was already going through so much with the breakup, and instead of the mom being there for her she belittled her and called her fat.
Well kris is recovering from anorexia sooooo……
@@lallygamer4062 I didn't know that. That's heartbreaking.
I think the no alcohol one was completely valid. It’s her house, her party, and it is childish to not be able to have a good time without alcohol. It’s one night, be with your family and for goodness sakes be present if life is that hard without alcohol I’d rethink your life choices
100% agree
3 generations of Kris' family joined her today, what an amazing treat!
Kris' mom and Jessica joins and introduce baby George to the audience, very sensible to keep George off screen.
Congratulations to new mom Jessica and welcome to little baby George, best wishes to the newborn baby and the freshly extended family!
Kris' mom's personality reminds me of my grandmother, she too took offense on blasphemy, but could swear enough to shame a drunken sailor if the situation called for it!
Kris just looks so happy now, it's such a delight to see her in such a good mood and I wish her all the best!
Kris' mom looks like the best mix of Jennifer Aniston's character Rachel Green and Jennifer Coolidge's character Jeanine Stiffler, Kris did a great job styling her!
Thank you all for the stories and insights, great banter and entertainment, likewise kudos to Jay for the editing!
Keep being awesome you all, you amazing people, please take care and stay safe!
"My George would never" made me go aww out loud ❤ your mom is so much fun. Love her and loads of best wishes for baby George.
Where I live, for around 35$ at McDonals I usually order one menu (so burger, fries and coke) a little cheeseburger for later, 5 chicken nuggets (for my dogs to share) and apple slices (for my rabbit). If I’d be sad and lonely and wanted double in my belly and not order nuggets and apple slices, for 35$ I’d get two menus. So two burgers, two fries and two cokes. For someone grieving a 3 year relationship, that’s not too much food.
And peolle really do forget that a lot of options on these menus are disproportionately expensive. (Like a shake or sumn', or a large fry. Large fries used to be around 7ish dollars in my old home town, about 2ish years back- haven't seen it since inflation so idk.)
That’s crazy cause for me here £35 is 4 peoples meals worth of McDonald’s. (2 of the ‘special burgers’ with fries and a coke each, 1 mcplant with fries and a shake and 1 Big Mac with fries and a shake all larges)
Interesting. I recently bought three meals for $35 usd. Not happy meals. Full sized meals.
Dear Kmk’s mom,
Thank you for giving the world such a gift and light to the lives of many ❤
Fr! ❤❤
The dynamic between Kris and Kris’s mom adds such a fun and unique perspective to these tales. The combination of your humor and your mom’s candid reactions is just priceless. Thank you for brightening our day and keep up the fantastic work!
I like how at this point, Kris's room is basically a free salon for her family, so wholesome! 😊
Can we appreciate the fact that Kris actually reads through her comments and even likes and replies to people. I honestly think it's really sweet that she actually connects and bonds with her audience ❤
You can just say that you and others appreciate it instead of posing it as a question
@@goodtimepokewhere do u see a question. I reread this comment like 4 times thinking it was me but genuinely can’t see a question being posed
@@Kitts423 can we appreciate......
They are asking if ppl can appreciate her ❤ hope this helps
@@Danielleee08 This. That’s what I meant, it’s just about the wording. If we want to give props to Kris just do so, there’s no need to post it like it is controversial or something that hasn’t been brought up already.
@@Kitts423 it’s the first three words, I just am annoyed with the wording. She could’ve said “I appreciate” or “we appreciate” but went with “can we” which implies plenty of things needlessly.
I’m sperging out over essentially grammar bs, so don’t worry your head much about it.
The fact that they think OP in story one is the A-hole is mindblowing. Are poeple really that unknowing about addiction?!
Addiction is hereditary, if OP drinks there is a chanse she may become an addict. And people who grew up with an addictive parent often has a LOT of trauma, and being around alcohol and drunk people can cause them tremendous amounts of pain.
I was shocked to, literally if you can't go a day without alcohol you have a problem. My Dad when he hosts Christmas we do it at our Churches kitchen. Most people universally no it's an alcohol free event then. Unless they hide a flask on themselves (':
But that wasn't even op's issue, she was complaining about being annoyed by drunk people around her. No one likes to be around people who are that uptight, drunk or sober.
No one is making her drink.
@@beastman2513my dad was an abusive drunk and even being around drunk people sets off my fight or flight. If I’m hosting Christmas I’d have it a sober event. I would like to enjoy my Christmas party and if my family can’t go one night without drinking then I would say they’re the ahole. The only exception I would make is Glühwein, since it’s a Christmas tradition. If my house is a known liquor free zone and they still want me to host then they’d have to be okay with me sticking to my prestanding rules. Plus the husbands sister hosting a party on the same day when you could’ve done it a couple days before or after is kind of crappy
@@traumatized7523 well obviously they didnt want her to host after finding out there was no alcohol. Thats why they all went somewhere else. So by your own admission they arent the aholes.
For the first one, if it’s your house they should have no problem following your rules. They are mad because they are being called out for their behavior. People who have problems with not being able to drink and literally can’t have fun without drinking have issues they need to deal with.
But they did follow her rules tho? I cannot fathom how people don't see the utter entitlement and scallywag behaviour of the OP. She's throwing a tantrum and calling people childish and immature because they choose not to go through life completely dry like her, then wonders why no one wants to come to her party?
Why is everyone so intent on seeing the rest of the family as the bad ones? They literally respected her decision and politely chose not to attend her party instead, even going as far as to invite her to the other party just so she didn't feel lonely and excluded, yet she's still got some bone to pick with them. Am I the only crazy one to see it as incredibly entitled and bratty to expect people to come to your party when they don't want to? And then to throw a tantrum and call them childish and immature just because they chose to go somewhere else to have a good time?
@@lakewoodln1060 they actually didn’t follow her rules because they ended up not going to the party at all, and they went to the pseudo-party that the sister had thrown, and that was the entire argument towards the end of the post because of the fact that she was upset that her husband’s family would much rather go to an entire alternative party, as opposed to just spending one night without drinking… she’s also been through a lot of trauma when it comes to drinking so I can see how stuff like that kind of triggers her in a way and plus if you’re drinking almost every single day I think that’s more of an issue then whether or not, she’s the asshole
@@bxarbianaa I agree with you about the fact that there seems to be some trauma related to drinking in her life, which, as heartless as it may seem to say this, she needs to address and overcome on her own. No one else is responsible for her traumas and it's unfair for her to assume that everyone is going to end up acting like her drunken father did when she was a kid. Also, I agree that people who drink every day do have a problem that they need to work on as well, that's unhealthy behaviour.
What I don't agree with is that it's somehow uncalled for to choose to go to someone else's party, regardless of the reason. The fact that people can't see that OP is being an absolute child about this whole situation, trying to control people's choices and calling them immature and childish for choosing to go to another party and drink and celebrate at someone else's house instead of hers is absolutely mind-blowing to me. The way I see it, she's just using the trauma card as a way to garner sympathy, no one else is responsible to give up a certain part of their usual Christmas celebrations because she has traumas that she needs to work on.
Idk, I could be wrong about this but so far, no one has made a compelling enough argument in my opinion, she's a grown-ass adult, not a child. She needs to learn to take rejection graciously, not go on reddit and bash her whole family.
That's called alcoholism.
She’s projecting her issues. They are understandable but she needs to deal with her problems that no one in the family has. Also I’m sure she knew her husbands family drank before she got married. She was not blindsided by this “issue” she has
With the first one I agree with her, and her husband is wrong. It's her party, it's her choice and house rules. It would be different if she went to the Aunts house and told them they couldn't drink. People don't understand the trauma that can come from alcohol/alcoholics. My cousin had a dry wedding because her husband was a past alcoholic and everyone was very considerate. I feel bad for that lady, she's invited to my Christmas 😤
Well yes, that's why they made a separate party in order to do it elsewhere where they wouldn't be intruding on her house rules. And that's why they still included her.
Well, I agree with you, and this is one of the few times I diagree with Kris. It is her house and her party. If someone is exepcted to be fine eathing vegan food at a vegan dinner and afterwoards go get their meat if they want, then the same can be done with booze. Go, have a fun, sober time with your family and then meet up afterwards at a bar or someones house for drinds. Like an afterparty. It's not that hard, shows respect to the hostess (your brothers wife by the way) and she has put up with your boozing for years. If you're not a bunch of alcoholics, you will survive a couple of hours or on night of sobriety.
@@darkriku12 But see, in doing that they basically just showed that they care more about booze than family. Instead of just respecting OP's wishes in her own home and having a nice, fun Christmas without alcohol, they decided to say "Who gives a shit about your trauma? We want a buzz!" and set up a retaliation party so they could still get drunk. And inviting her anyway just feels like a slap in the face. They don't respect her one bit.
I completely agree. It’s her turn to host and she has every right to say she doesn’t want alcohol in her home. Them creating a separate party at the same time is disrespectful. Why can’t they go to hers on the original day and have another gathering with alcohol on a separate day for those who want it?
@darkriku12 except they basically took over her Christmas. It sounds like everyone was going there INSTEAD of hers n not both. As to the "making my husband spend Christmas at home alone with me" implies. The correct way wouldve been go there for dinner and THEN the sisters after to drink. Sounds like they value drinking more than just good old quality family time together. I don't drink n honestly I understand. She wanted ONE Christmas were she could bond with them without them being piss drunk n her feeling left out. When ur the ONLY one not drinking, u feel pressured n left out.
Congratulations Jessica on the birth of your son, George.🍼👣 Don't forget to take Christina to Bora Bora so she can babysit for you.😂 Also, your mom is a very pretty Grandmother.🌺
as someone with personal family alcohol trauma, i understand her point of view 100%. the family is definitely the scallywag. just respect her wishes for one night. i don't think its that harsh to want to spend christmas with their family sober.
It's not just one night. Its THE CHRISTMAS PARTY . If it was just a normal night of hanging out no big deal but , christmas is once a year and people look forward to relaxing that one night.
Totes, she just went about it the wrong way. Just bad communication, really.
Kris, you have an amazing mom :) You two are both amazing :))) More videos like that, they are very heartwarming and funny

О, привет Макс 🤗
I love the fact that Kris always makes us all feel like family.
For the 1st story, I disagree. As someone who grew up with family that were alcoholics, things can be pretty traumatic. I personally don't avoid alcohol, but I can completely understand not wanting to be around it in your own home. The way she talks about her situation, it sounds like everyone knew about her dislike for alcohol. She didn't control what they did at their own homes. She only tried in her house. They knew it was her year to throw the party for a year and could have touched on the topic at any time prior. This sounds more like disregarding someone's trauma than undermining all the work they have put into planning for a party. OP, not the scallywag, just a crabby patty in the way she spoke about her dislikes.
Yep, her house! I think she should have told them earlier that if she's hosting, there's no alcohol, and so they could have decided "ok someone else host"
regardless someone else is hosting and she is upset about it. I think it is entirely reasonable to choose what is allowed in your home but it is not reasonable to dictate what is allowed on a holiday, especially if there is a standing expectation or tradition.
Offering to host and not mentioning that something is banned is WILD to me, almost feels like intentional drama
The trauma is important but that is hers not theirs. I have trauma to and if it'll come up I tell people I don't just assume they'll figure it out.
I took that OP was upset since she had gone out of her way to plan everything already for said event. So, she was mad that they didn't appreciate her boundaries in her own home and also wasted her time and money. It didn't sound like OPs opinion of no alcohol in her house was a new thing either. That is how I took it anyway.
If OP hasn't spent money on the holiday yet and someone else offers to host, I would still understand hurt feelings. However, that is all I would understand if that was the case.
7:42 even if you’re 13, it’s not always possible to control your bladder and some people really can’t hold it.
It she didn’t even try. She absolutely had the ability to control when she peed, as they had stopped at a gas station right before. She should have peed then not in the car.
And we do NOT know this kid's medical history. There are things, general, and gender specific, that can seriously hinder organ functions, and we do not know her situation, and sometimes these things go undiagnosed as a kid, AND an adult. I wish her the best of luck.
Thanks for not judging and being kind.
@Lillyross-ex8pj She gave a 40 minute heads up my dude. She tried. They put her off. Stuff happened.
Totally avoidable, yes. But things don't always go as we want them to, and cleared accidents should never go punished.
@@soaringspirits2267 if she had a bad medical history, do you really think the parents wouldn’t let her go whenever she wanted? She’s twelve, which means she’s old enough to decide when she has to go pee. She’s also old enough to have consequences for that. Her consequence is the embarrassment of soiled underwear.
@@Lillyross-ex8pj Yep, I've met so many parents that don't care until it's too late, then blame the kids.
Again. Defo could have been prevented. She defo could have avoided it. But she gave em a warning. Things went downhill.
And it could've been an underlying issue they didn't know about.
Please bring your mother back more often. She's delightful, funny and very wholesome. I can see why you and your siblings turned out as you did. :)
My family is generally a party of 9 at Christmas dinner. Last year 2 of us were sober, so we had a mostly dry Christmas (split one special bottle of wine between everyone else). It is HARD to be sober, especially when the whole family is drinking. You mentioned that skipping Christmas is a whole year of no drinking.... FALSE, it is one day. Throw a New Years party with alcohol, do a Christmas Eve with alcohol... Just don't punish the people trying to enjoy an unintoxicated family gathering.
As someone whose family struggles with a predisposition for alcoholism, it really can ruin the holiday. My boyfriends family also struggles with alcohol abuse, which has also been incredibly damaging, especially during Christmas and the grieving process. Someone is NEVER the Ahole for not wanting alcohol at a holiday, when it is like this. Think about it; alcohol was more important to them than spending time as a family at Christmas so much so that they had their own, hurting the feelings of the host, just so they could drink. Even if it wasn't her decision, it should have been acknowledged about how it has become a problem to the point where some family thinks there should be no alcohol at all! It hurts me so incredibly much that I cannot remember a family Christmas without various family members drinking too much and being loud and abrasive together. Sometimes it has ruined Christmas. I hate that this will be my memories of Christmas. They literally cannot have just one or two. Unless consumed moderately, alcohol is always divisive in a family. I feel like I'm not actually talking to my family members, I feel like I'm talking to them through a screen of drug-like belligerence, and the words their saying aren't actually them but it hurts just like it is. They don't pay attention when it comes to enjoying opening gifts, they say horrible things, they're loud, and they're, in short, not themselves at all. I drink extremely moderately, and I enjoy have a cocktail as much as the next person, so I'm not a tea-totaler, but I would gladly never have another drink again if I got to have just one non-alcohol family Christmas!!! If you can't control yourself when it comes to how much you drink or what you say/do when you drink, for the sake of your family and friends and yourself, just don't!!!!
I think it’s perfectly fine to not want alcohol at a family gathering that you are hosting but if you are going to impose that rule it’s probably best not to condescendingly and self-righteously insult everyone before they even show up.
I love how reading reddit stories while doing someone's hair has become a regular video on this channel.
This! ❤
Hey guys! I wanted to give my thoughts on the roadtrip/bathroom break problem as someone on the younger side.
My family goes on long road trips all the time, and our policy is that whenever we fully stop, pretty much everyone goes to the bathroom even if they don't feel like it so that there doesn't need to be a ton of irregular stops. From what I gathered in the reading, it kind of sounds like the driver tried to get off at an exit pretty soon after she told him she needed to go right then, but some places won't have an available exit for like 10-15 minutes of driving. I think that the 13 year old was more in the wrong than the driver, because she wouldn't lose anything from going while at the stop, while needing to stop soon after can put you like 20-30 minutes behind on the whole drive.
Love your content, and the community! :)
I'm one of 4 daughters (31 atm) and same here. We would go on long car trips to visit my mother's parents every few years and it was not optional to say "I don't need to go" when we stopped for bathroom breaks. My dad knew we'd have to stop again soon if we didn't all go then. The daughter was 13. I'm with the dad in saying it was dumb not to use the bathroom when she had the opportunity. Especially because of highways like the 401 that don't have exits very close together all the time.
I agree, when I was younger I had a weak bladder but we always went on roadtrips often to visit grandparents. My mom always forced me to go to the bathroom even if I didn’t need to go and it worked. The parents just need to control their kid😐
I kind of agree. I agree that she definitely should’ve tried because you never know, but I have had those times where I’ve tried to use the bathroom and nothing comes out, then 30-40 mins later I’ll have to piss really bad. I think I wasn’t smart of her to not try, but also sometimes you really just don’t gotta go.
I completely agree with you. @@carmeltabby
Agreed
Okay. I have a story time. My mother called me fat. Me (was 10 years old at the time Female) had been 115 pounds, the average for that age, is 90. So my mother called me over and showed me pictures of my brother and me when I was younger, showing our jawlines, from when I was young and my brother now, (fifteen) we both had sharp jawlines and i now have more of A puffy jawline. I still fvcking hate myself because of this. She started explaining that I had started eating more junk, and put her 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, on a diet. TEN years old. Now, she’s saying she has gone on a eating disorder course, and said “I know I have probably fucked you guys up beyond repair” like that would fix anything. I was transitioning to middle school, too. So she called me fat, put me on a diet, made me more insecure than I already was, told me my jaw was puffy, compared me to my brother, and I STILL HATE MYSELF✌🏻 so uhm. I don’t know what relationship me and my mom have, but it’s most likely not healthy if she told me that. She acts like it never happened✋🏻😭 so, there is my story time🫶🏻
Her mom trying to complement us was just so entertaining and sweet ❤
i absolutely love these videos when kris brings in family members or friends
edit:
for the second story, I think the dad was the ahole. I myself had and still have a problem with peeing myself and it’s something I have been very insecure about. If you have to go you have to go. (I struggle with medical problems and it’s not just me not going to the toilet)
14:06 I saw this while eating McDonalds because I feel crappy...
.. I've never felt more validated 😂😂
In the last story the top move would’ve been to tell the entitled son he’s going to stay home but his gf (which apparently was fine with a bit of babysitting) can come with them. Ultimate Uno Reverse for that horny gnome.
EXACTLY what I would’ve said!!
Yep, the gf can come, but you stay here.
My opinion on the 1st 1 about the no booze, I fully support. As some1 who has parents with drinking problems & a recovering borderline alcoholic I don't think she is asking too much. I'm a bit disappointed you guys think differently... I personally don't like being around a bunch of drunk people in my home, I have dealt with it in the past with some exs of mine & their friends/family. It's not fun & I don't blame them for not allowing booze.
When Kris's mom says, 'Really sorry' at 13:06, I LOVE the accent!! Your mom is so cute! ❤❤
I love Kris’s sister goes “my George would never” as the oldest sibling I grew up raising and helping my family and siblings all the time especially on vacation.
I love how she’s just doing these stories with her whole family at this point
the second OP was definitely TA because I can relate to Kris. My and my family would always go on road trips and anytime I or my brothers asked to go to the bathroom my dad would get off immediately at the next exit.
For the first story, the sister is defintiely the scallywag all she had to do was throw the party on a different night. As someone who is sober as well as seen the affect of being the solely sober person at a party, she is totally reasonable for not wanting alcohol at her party. If anything, it sounds like her decision has never been respected by her husband or his family.
I was thinking the same. I also completely get where she’s coming from as well. My SIL and her husband will show up to the birthday parties for nieces and nephews who are children with alcohol. My house is an alcohol free house for religious reasons, and for me that’s the end of it. Alcohol is just like smoking if you’re at someone’s house that doesn’t allow it in their home you don’t do it, and it doesn’t make you a skullywag for having such rules for your own home.
you only get one Christmas in a year and it's a children's holiday so the very least you can do in my book is to abstain from alcohol for that day. It doesn't belong in Christmas at all.
I have seen sooo much fighting and ruined Christmases for soooo many children that it's ridiculous.
And trust me when I say this: Your kids can sense if you have taken even one teaspoon of rum and they are afraid of the change it brings in people.
Wow. Please do not drink on Christmas if you have kids.
I really think there's a problem when people can't have ONE day without alcohol. And it's Christmas, it's supposed to be a day for the kids first and foremost (of course for adults too, food etc., but there's no need to get inebriated). Or maybe they can't be in same space with each other if they're sober 😂.
And for the record, I'm not against alcohol per se, I sometimes drink myself.
thank you, i was really gobsmacked by kris' response, especially since she basically said the exact opposite about the vegan who wouldn't let anyone bring meat to the family dinner she was hosting. i'm also teetotal and i really think it proves OP's point about the childishness of alcohol that the family bailed on her to get sloshed at another party as well as all the quippy comments about "the grinch who stole boozemas" and "OP's dreaming of a quaker christmas." then again, being sober has never been respected in this country, to the point that the last time we had legally-mandated sobriety society was just like "FINE, I'LL MURDER PEOPLE UNTIL YOU LET ME DRINK."
I'm kinda "everyone sucks here" about that. I completely understand her being uncomfortable with it, but she didn't have to be so judgemental about it. The sister could've had her gathering on another day, choosing to have it the same day seems like she's being petty
It’s funny how the first story is so similar to that one other story where the vegan girl wanted a vegan only dinner, but the reactions were opposite. For the vegan girl they said “suck it up, it’s just one night” and for this story they said “Just because you don’t drink doesn’t mean you take it away from others.” And “at least let them bring their own alcohol” 😂 the irony
I was thinking that too
15:22 can I note, if they live in Australia, which also uses $ as their currency, then 35 is a delivered one burger large meal. Maybe more food if there was a deal on also they don’t do the single dollar menu in Australia
Yeah I hate how judgmental those comments are on Reddit. 1. Like you said we don’t know the full context and 2. Even if it was actually 35$ she’s obviously going through a lot and shaming her will make it worse
Firstly, I loved how hard Kris's mom tried to give the compliment at the beginning. Secondly, love the stories that Kris and her mom were telling. ❤❤❤
For the no alcohol post, I don’t think she was the scallywag. It’s her home and it’s only for a few hours. The fact they would choose alcohol over seeing family speaks volumes
100%
Same. I have a dad who had a bad drinking problem and couldn’t be around alcohol at all when he quit or he’d relapse. Just because he couldn’t drink doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be able to be around his family for Christmas. A lot of people don’t understand this though.
My Grandfather was an intense alcoholic all my life. I don't particularly care to be around people who have been drinking because the smell brings back unhappy, uncomfortable memories. Both my parents banned alcohol in their house because of a long family history of alcoholism on both sides.
Honestly yeah. I have a bunch of people in my life who don’t drink alcohol and some don’t want to even be around it. You gotta respect other people😅
Fr! Like drink before you go and get an Uber. But if you can’t go a few hours without alcohol, like dang. And to have a party on the same day…..that’s really an asshole/scallywag move!
It’s a bit interesting how different Kris’ response is between a vegan meal in one of the Reddit videos and this one with alcohol. Abstinence from drinking is definitely also a belief/religious thing
Alternatively, maybe the family does have an alcohol problem if they can't handle not having booze 1 holiday and need to have an alternate gathering just for their precious drinks
Sometimes people can only get together once a year and that's the only time they can let loose being around kids and other responsibilities all the time. Getting drunk once a year does not equate to alcoholism. It's just being human.
right, but as someone who doesn't drink traditions do matter to me. It is fine if she doesn't want them to bring booze to her place but if they were not expecting having her host to change what would be served I understand not wanting to go anymore.
idk I think it's a culture thing (culture within a family I mean). This woman fully and completely wants to hamper the vibe. A lot of people *only* drink at parties and events and make a whole thing out of it. For her to run a dry party where she's clearly judging everyone for even wanting to drink just makes her seem like an uptight loser.
😂 I love how everyone is like "no liquor; you ruined Christmas"
But a couple weeks ago "no meat, people can suck it up for one day"😅😅😅
Thank you for pointing out that double standard!! Totally agree!
Yep! Exactly this.
I highly doubt they didn’t know her views on it too!
It’s pretty insensitive.
It's obviously because they are the same people who can't party without alcohol 🤷♀
exactly!
💯
i love how all of the guests on kris's channel can never think of a compliment as fast as kris can like its normal to make 1b people happy in their bad days.
That money pot thing sounds like a great idea... maybe have a little log book beside it with signatures so that each child gets a little consciousness prick if they are taking more then their siblings but still good idea. As a child I didn't like asking for money and definitely missed out on quite a few things because of it.
Love when Kris brings her family into the video! Congrats to Jessica and hubby for creating such wonderful baby boy for Auntie Kris to play with. Can't wait to see George in a video (or not because it's up to George's AMAZING parents)! ❤
For the ridiculous amount of time I spend on UA-cam. I think these hair and AITA videos are without a doubt my absolute favorite. Thank you!!!
As the child of an alcoholic I can sympathise with the no alcohol rule it's one day, if you can't live without alcohol for one day you have a problem
It's not about going one day without it. It's that for some people a special occasion is a time to drink. Drinking is celebrating. I'll go weeks without drinking but when it comes to holidays it's always an open bar. That's just how some people celebrate
For story 1: What are you guys thinking? Your last video with reddit stories had a story that was almost copy and paste with this one except the host was vegan instead of sober. You guys voted with the vegan and said her family was the scallywag. Now you say the host was the scallywag? I believe the host was innocent for both stories. Like you said for the other story, the family can suck it up for one day.
Also, love you and your videos. I probably wouldn't be here without them.
I agree, that's such a double standard.
THANK YOU,I swear it's like people have no common sense but I guess I can blame society for that.
Thank you! Agreed!
@@alisha4093 So people can dictate their own personal morality on others and get mad if people are not willing to submit to that?
@@barnett25 No not at all but you have to think about like any other personal matter. Say for example I'm Muslim and you're idk atheist, I'm not going to try to force to believe in my god or follow by our rules or traditions, but also not going to carter to you for something that I don't necessarily agree with or believe like if I invited you to a get together or and outing and you don't want to come because there isn't any pork, I have a right to be upset about it and not budge on that and you don't have a right to demand that of me. While this may not be the exact same, this is a personal boundary that she has a right to impose. If her husband's family wasn't ok with that then they shouldn't have had her host it. Or like hyham325 said they can just suck it up. I get that this was on an important event for them (while personally I don't believe in it) it's not like this is a one time thing it does happen every year, not having alcohol for one night especially when this happens every year is not that big of a request. While the girl may have 'judgey' about it she still had a right to do it.
I love how both Kris and her mom are both captivated by George as soon as he is brought back in the room.
Interesting how different the take on "no alcohol" was compared to the last video where the host only wanted to offer vegan food. I think when you're invited somewhere you have to adjust to their rules regarding food and drinks.
I think the difference was the approach. The last person was very polite about it, this person just insulted every person in the family calling them childish etc
Also with the vegan story if the people really wanted they could get other food before or after while you can’t exactly get together to have drinks before or after a celebration and deliberately excluding one person would definitely be a jerk move
Also, holiday vs not?
I agree. Total double standard!
Or you do what the sister in law did and throw your own party where you don’t have to put up with stupid rules. I’ll never go to a party where the host is going to push their beliefs and baggage on me. Do I need to eat meat, no I have vegetarian meals all the time. Do I need to drink, no I rarely drink. But I’m not going someplace where I’m forced to do or not do something.
Grats to Jessica and George*!! Didn't know she had her little one! (assuming that's what you meant, I could be completely wrong lol)
Edit* Also, the first story, I must respectfully decline. She is not the scallywag. As someone who has a long history of being exposed to alcohol abuse, trauma, anxiety etc etc brought upon by alcohol, requesting a no alcohol holiday at My Place, seems perfectly reasonable. The other party could have hosted another event on another night. Sometimes it isn't about whether or not the host drinks. It's about all of the trauma that alcohol can bring up. Drunk people in general leave me with SO much anxiety, so I fully empathize with the poor host.
I am the only one who thinks that mom complements are the actual best? I don't care whos mom it is, it's always so genuine and sweet ❤️
People can have a dry holiday. I think it speaks to the fact that the family can’t go even a holiday without a drink. Intervention much? It’s the same as a dry wedding.
Honestly my family would probably throw a fit and my sister would do the same thing as the sister in law.
Typically the people that like to drink, get drunk in the garage and the people that don’t like to drink hang out together
I moved away and visit once a year lol
That is completely illogical. Most people don't drink regularly, the family isn't saying they want to get plastered having a glass of wine or whatever on a holiday is completely normal. If there was a current alcoholic in the family, then yea dry holiday. But she didn't say that, she said her dad was an alcoholic, she's not. Things are around us all the time that we can't control. She is the one who needs to grow up. Now she's causing a family rift over trying to force her beliefs down the family's throat.
Her house, her rules. She would end up in court if someone gets plastered and has an accident after they leave. The family is disrespecting her. Just leave them out of the rotation if you don’t like her rules.
@@janinebrown9773 Thats really what it comes down to. She is completely within her right to have a no drinking rule in her own home. The family also has the right to not go of course. But if they are THAT bent out of shape over not being able to drink, then ya "maybe" there really is a problem.
Totally agree. Saying that she could choose not to partake herself, and not to supply the alcohol, completely misses the point, IMO. The point is that she shouldn't have to tolerate a bunch of drunk assh... err, scallywags in her house. And although she didn't say it explicitly in her Reddit post, I have to assume that's part of the issue. If his family members weren't jerks when they drank, then it seems likely that allowing alcohol at Christmas wouldn't be such a big issue for her.
Honestly with that first one, I can understand that she wanted an alcohol free Christmas, I personally feel uncomfortable about drunk people and here in Germany it's not unusual to get wasted
I would've insisted on it as well and I would've been VERY insulted if everyone went to an alternative party as well
Let me be clear, not every drunk person makes me uncomfortable, but a certain person in my family does and since it'd be weird to just ban alcohol for that one person, I'd just not allow it at my own party altogether
Hope you understand what I mean :)
EDIT: I should also mention that that one specific person will still drive when drunk and they are actually already blind in one eye, so that makes me nervous on top of everything
In my opinion drinking and getting wasted are two different things... cheers
Agreed!
As someone from Germany as well
I completely understand what you mean
My family always drinks at Christmas and a couple weeks before Christmas (weihnachtsmarkt) and it's just uncomfortable.
exactly! my extended family always gets drunk EVERY. TIME. there's alcohol. I would make the same time, it's my party, deal with it.
I especially like the point they said basically alcohol shouldn't be around if that's the only reason they are having fun. that's a huge point and they all kinda just sound slightly like alcoholics to me if they need it that bad
Not for CERTAIN ppl - if you have experience with those family memebers you KNOW that some ppl simply cant stop once they started.@@PerspectiveEngineer
Honestly, I’ve been like a dead subscriber to Kris for a while. Just randomly found a.Reddit stories video. I love with how calming it is to watch/listen to the guests read while Kris does hair
Kinda weird. Another story you read was about a vegan hosting some party, where everyone had to be vegan for the night. Then it was ok and the family should just deal with it. But now with the alcohol story the hostess is the scallywag? I think it's very much reasonable to ask for a party without alcohol. And the sister hosting a different party was actually really scummy.
Hmm, to me it’s a little different. The vegan party was due to that person’s ethical reasons for not wanting to handle or cook meat because it went against her beliefs.
I think in this situation, if it had been that the person herself had been an alcoholic or had issues around alcohol, it would have been similar - however, it came across more judgy saying she simply thought everyone was childish wanting alcohol to have fun.
I agree the sister in law was also the scallywag for planning an alternate party, but I don’t agree this can be compared to the vegan hosting a party.
I was stopped by the same thought. Maybe Kris’ pov is biased because when we feel we’ve shared an experience with someone else, we also feel they should experience it the same way we do. I for one totally understand becoming really anxious around people who are drinking, and while it isn’t personal I do feel less safe around those people. The OP was effectively talking about one event, that would have lasted at most one day *in her own home that there be no drinking. The immediate response even from her own husband was not only completely disrespectful but just genuinely unkind. Especially with the lack of context the OP provides I’m frankly quite disappointed that she responded as she did, it doesn’t seem very consistent with other values Kris has expressed… I know many people for example who will not have drinking in their home because it goes against their religion : so if OP had said instead, ‘spiritually, I don’t want the evils of alcohol in my home’ I’m guessing they might have responded differently….
A person who strongly feels they shouldn't have alcohol at her event because of her father being a drunk? There might be some underlying trauma there. Maybe her dad was a mean drunk. Not everyone shares openly with their past. Plus if you can't go one family gathering without the need for a drink, then they are devoid of personalities. I agree that their attitude about this topic was disappointing.
Cry.
@@Njcoqui67I don't care what kind of drunk her father was, it's not a valid excuse to be that condescending about the topic. It's not her decision that's awful, it's the way she talks about her in-laws. If she talks that way *to* them, she should be grateful she's allowed at Christmas
I agree with the absurdly of the $35 dollars at McDonald's. I usually get a 10 piece nugget meal and my boyfriend will get 2 or 3 burger meals and its never over $20 so she would have had to buy like 5 or 6 meals???? That's insane especially if its not your money to spend 😬
Hell I go to the museum with my "nephews" (besties sons) and their Grandma and we get McDonald's for lunch and we spend $25 dollars for the 5 of us. $35 for one person is outrageous .
I love Kris just laughing behind her mum with Jess and censoring herself around her mum 🤣 lovingly of course, so very family
Why does Chris's mom make me smile so much, like she seems like a genuinely kind and very interesting person-- i like wanna be friends with her, I feel like she'd give me a candy bar on my birthday 😭
This is how you know Kris is one of the real ones. She doesn't do it JUST for the money she is a genuine person and I love her humor. Kris your my favorite person ❤
Honestly, the year we banned alcohol at Christmas was the first year in my life that Christmas didn't end in a screaming match, I don't dread Christmas now
Now we just need a "Am I the Scallywag" with Kris doing Caleb's hair.
I'd be there within 10 seconds of the video coming out😂
OP number one, not the a hole. At all. She probably knows how these people are when drunk and not wanting it in YOUR house, totally justified. I would have an alcohol free Christmas get together, too.
I think if op had actually stated that they tend to get really drunk or are sloppy drunks or they tend to drink and drive ect it would be a different story but by the sounds of it they are like most people and enjoy having cocktails and fancy wine/ champagne at celebrations so it just comes off as her being controlling and the fact that she got so upset at the fact that people didn’t want to come because she put in the rule was also a bit scallywagie, it’s like with any celebration rules if you want to have a dry celebration then be prepared for people to not want to come
I agree! They could have an after party at someone else's house with alcohol or something. It's her house and she doesn't want to see her safe space full with boos! We don't know how deep her trauma goes, we don't know if she is ok with seeing people drink but seeing it in her own home is too much. There are many virgin drinks that could be made. I don't understand why people think the holidays gives people the right to do things in others homes that the home owner is uncomfortable with. Did you buy the house? Do you live there? Is like everyone in the family being pot heads and usually smoking it up during Christmas but she doesn't want it in her house because she is uncomfortable with it.
@@marvelismylife946 the fact is, they choose booze over being together for the holidays. Says it all right there. They couldn't stay dry for a few hours?! That says a lot..
Totally agree.
Completely agree. Especially since she has past trauma with it, her husband and his family were 100% on the wrong on that one.
Along with the pee one I can kinda relate because my social studies teacher has NEVER let me go get a drink or go pee, and he always says “why didn’t you do that before you came here” like bro I didn’t have to pee then, or I wasn’t dying coughing because my throat itches🤷🏼♀️
Your mom is the sweetest human being ever!! Her legit concern for the daughter whose mom called her fat was so heartwarming. ❤💛
I don't allow alcohol in my house either like OP in the first story. I don't think she was being an asshole at all by asking for a dry holiday party. Not allowing people to drink in my house saves me the trouble of throwing them out when they inevitably start acting stupid. The SIL on the other hand is ABSOLUTELY being an asshole by scheduling her party on the same night specifically so that they can drink. I'd probably also tell hubby to go to that party and just find someone there to spend the night with.😤
2:50 love this…everyone ive been around in my family/dating life are super sketchy when drinking…so NO you are not the scallywag the sister is for hosting the other party
You know it's a good day when KallmeKris uploads
Was anyone else fascinated to watch the interactions change from a sort of “staged, on camera” atmosphere to just a really relaxed, comfortable family hang out? It made my heart all warm
It’s so nice to meet your mom! I see where you got your humor. You’re both adorable and I love your channel. Love from KY! ❤
Hey Kris, Omkar here! Just someone who has recently found you through youtube and have been watching a lot of your videos lately. I just want to say thank you for everything you do and all the amazing content you put out. You have no idea how much your content and just you being as amazing of a human you are have helped me through so much. I have been away from my family for quite some time and these past couple of months have been really hard. Since I have found your yt channel I always have something to look forward to in these tough times and it really keeps me going. Your videos especially with your siblings resonate very personally with me as some of the most closest people I have on earth are my siblings. Watching you guys together reminds me of the bond we have and it fills me up with wholesome energy🥺
All in all thank you for being you and thank you for complimenting us at the start of every video because that simple gesture of kindness goes a long way. Stay amazing❤
Honestly, we could all live with a podcast of just you + guests reading these. They make me feel happy and a good distraction when I need one ... love you guys :)
You know how you can hold it until you put the keys in your door… despite mentally teaching your bladder it’s not time, but when it’s close to time…it comes! As a 13 year old… you haven’t had enough time to practice that. And still at my age I can hold it for hours, but when I’m close to the toilet, it’s no stopping it
I think its kinda sad if people need to drink to enjoy themselves. You can drink the next day, definitely don't think OP is a scallywag, her husband and his family are tho, especially while knowing her history it may be triggering for her.
WOW! Now that we've met the entire family virtually I can see the strong resemblance you all have to your mom-seriously. However, Jake looks so much like your mom it's uncanny... Great video
The doggies tail wagging made smile hes so happy
Thank Kris for reading these. I don’t really roam around Reddit and now you’ve intrigued me. ❤
In my opinion the 1st story isn’t the asshole. I think that it’s the same as the vegetarian host you agreed wasn’t an asshole because it went against their beliefs or comfort. Even the ending was similar to “you can’t ________ for a day?” If someone were to tell me (by the way my addiction is soda) no soda at the party, I’d shrug and drink water or punch. 1st off it ain’t my party, and 2 years I can skip my delicious bottle of coke cola for a day. Also you don’t know what kind of people her husband’s family is like when drinking. They could be the type to be throwing up and doing shit you shouldn’t be doing and wouldn’t be doing if you were sober. It’s her safe space and should stay so. If they wanted to have booze then whoever decided she should host, should talk to her about instead of pressing her to be the host they will free her from hosting so she can keep her safe space and they can continue to indulge in drinking. Plus Christmas (society pushes for with Santa Claus and gift giving) was supposed to be a celebration for children. Maybe also it’s because I don’t drink but have family that have acted stupid when liquor is allowed. Again this is growing up with parts of my family that if you allow, some can handle their liquor and I wouldn’t mind but others get carried away. Maybe it’s because I grew up with drunks during baptisms, 1st communions, kids birthdays and they would always have a few family drinking. Don’t get me wrong when I was younger I did drink with friends without family being around but if I was told we are not drinking then I wouldn’t drink. 🤷🏻♀️
I agree with you.
Agreed. It is one day. On a holiday that is clearly traded around. Suck it up for one day.
Came to make the same comment.
I don't know why but the mom videos are my favorite c: also I just want to point out, I find it interesting there was another story very similar to the first one in this story in another video, except rather than now allowing alcohol it was vegan food. When the topic was forcing people to eat vegan, they were not in the wrong but with not allowing alcohol for one day, they are in the wrong. It almost feels like a double standard, especially since the trauma that comes from alcoholism can be very deep compared to veganism (which I do have a lot of respect for) isn't usually born from trauma. Anyways I hope you have a fantastic day Kris, you deserve the best because you bring so many people joy and have such a loving and fun character. I know you struggle with depression as well but you have motivated me to get out of my rut and start moving my life forward again. You and your career/art are truly a very special gift, thank you for being who you are.
So happy that you really are Auntie Kris now!!!! Your going to be a great aunt…..
And thank you for making all this fun content!, of all the UA-camrs I’ve ever watched you are by far my favorite and who I never get tired of and I always come back too🥰
You know it’s gonna be an awesome video when kris’s family comes in
Kris, I couldn’t be more grateful for discovering your channel, I have gone through several stages of depression because of physical harassment, I couldn’t have been happier to discover your channel because ever since I found your channel my depression started disappearing, love you. ❤
When I was a teen, a family friend took me to Florida to babysit her toddler. I went and watched that kid all day every day because it was winter in New England and I loved every second of that sweet sweet Florida sunshine.
Congrats Jessica on having George! I had my 2nd daughter on Nov 17th, so I'm soaking up the newborn cuddles while watching this 💖 you guys are such a fun family, I love every video you post like this! Keep up the awesome work, Kris 😎
Ur mom is so sweet, her complement made my day bc I’ve been feeling more insecure than how I usually do which I thought was impossible, THANK YOU KRIS’S MOM ❤️😭
Dry Christmas dinner lady: alcoholism runs in my family & people were genuinely toxic & awful to each other while drinking. Most of them have 💀 or recognized they’re alcoholics so don’t drink & the gatherings are WAY more pleasant & I actually wanna be there
Kris, having your mom on this one giving her thoughts as a mom was perfect ! As a mom of a 13yr old that has to pee even IF she went 30 minutes before, he was the A hole 😊
I love seeing kris go back to her roots doing hair ❤
Here’s how the alcohol one should’ve gone:
If she’s against it, tell people straight up that if you host, you set the rules like no alcohol. If they don’t want that, decide ahead of time that someone else can host. Like, if I wanted people at my house, they have to accept that I have a dog. If you don’t like dogs, don’t come. My family has established very few days where we drink together and I would be super disappointed if a party was planned that changed our dynamic.
I love that you’re doing these with a bunch of different people! I love hearing all the different perspectives of your family!
