Company holiday party flushes out family drama when step-kids catch their MIL in a lie when she uses a ‘family emergency’ to bail on future NYE plans: ‘I don’t think [we've] ever laughed so hard'

The holidays bring out the worst in our families. As many of us realize, a once-a-year gathering every season is sometimes juuuust enough group social gathering to last us until next year's family party, but for this two-faced mother-in-law, even the bare minimum interaction with her step-kids was enough.

After years of enduring their MIL's cruel punishment for their mere existence, u/GunmetalMimzy and her brother had happily cut the woman out of their life. Except, every season at the family business held a company party that all would attend. Normally they'd grit their teeth and bear the interactions with their MIL, who was constantly backing out of plans and throwing them under the bus, they finally brewed up a plan to catch her in her flimsy excuses and expose her true self.

Keep scrolling to read how some holiday punch led to a knee-slapping sibling moment that'll remind this MIL that her adult step-children are not to be trifled with…

Because when it comes to family problems, sometimes fighting fire with fire is the only way to make your in-laws see how their actions affect their family. Although their revenge was petty, justice in the long-term will be just as sweet.
