Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, let's get into the courtroom. It's welcome to the
Keiki Court podcast. It's been a minute because I was
out in Greece on an amazing trip. Shout out to
my friend Ryan for taking me and we had an amazing,
amazing time. If you haven't seen the photos, you know
I got them posted. Okay, I'll love on my Instagram,

(00:20):
but shout out to everybody we met in Greece.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
It was just so beautiful.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Anyway, the courtroom is open and we have another case
for the podcast, so let's get into it.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
It says, hey, ki Key.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Am I wrong for removing my aunt from the family
group chat because I don't want her at my house
for the holidays. It says, every single holiday, my aunt
Brenda shows up to my house with her own tupperware
and to go containers, not because she brought any food
over to contribute to the dinner, but because she comes

(00:54):
to every family event planning to take food home.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
For example, before the.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Turkey is even carved, she's in the kitchen scooping mac
and cheese and sweet potatoes into containers to take home
and eat for later. Don't get me wrong, I'm not
being patty over food. But it is so tacky, and
I don't want her at my house this year doing
that in front of my in laws. I'm tired of
watching half of our food disappear before dinner even starts.

(01:23):
Am I wrong for not including her in our plans
this year?

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yikes?

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Holidays always bring out the wild parts and families, and
I feel like, you know, we all have family members
who are little on the tachi side, and taking food
home and you haven't even contributed anything to the meal
is extremely tacky in my opinion.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
So I don't think. I don't think you're wrong. I don't.
I mean, it's your house, you're the host.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
You know that you're gonna have guests over, and you
may just not want to deal with that, you know,
as your aunt. So I don't think you're wrong. Friend,
I don't think you're wrong for not, you know, having
her be a part of the celebration this year. However,
you just removed her from the group chat. I think

(02:14):
you should have a conversation with her and maybe tell
her like, you know, hey, this year I got my
in laws coming over, We're not going to have enough
you know, room, or you know, we're just gonna have
my in laws, like you need to kind of say
something to just not include her anymore in the family
group chat. She may not be tech savvy and kind
of know that you removed her. She may just assume

(02:35):
that she's invited and.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Show up anyway.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
So I do feel like, although it may be a
very uncomfortable conversation, you need to say something because if
you don't say anything, she can just show up because
it's been a tradition that she comes to your house,
so she's just planning to come, or she can be like, wow,
you know, I was just disinvited and I don't know why.
So I think it is a very awkward place to be.

(02:58):
And maybe if you're not comfortab saying something to Unt Brenda,
maybe your parents can say something. I don't know, if
she's on your mom's side or your dad's side, maybe
they can say, hey, you know, the kids don't want
you at the house this year because you you know X,
Y and Z. I think there needs to be some
type of follow up conversation. You just can't block Brenda
out the group chat. You need to say something. But

(03:21):
I don't think you're wrong for, you know, maybe not
wanting to include her this year, it's up to you.
It's your house. You are the host. And I'm really
big on holidays being very, you know, an important time
in anyone's family because we all work hard to get
to the holidays. We've worked all through the year, and
this should be a time where we can really let

(03:42):
our hair down and kind of enjoy time with our family.
And if there is someone in your life who is
going to prevent you from enjoying your holiday time that
you've worked so hard to get to, I think you
need to. It's your prerogative to avoid being around them,
you know. So I'm not one of those people that's like, oh, well,
that's family, they have to come over, Like no, hell no.

(04:03):
If I don't enjoy them being in my space, I
don't want to share my holidays with them, I'm not
doing it. So if Aunt Brenda is getting under your
skin that bad where you can't enjoy your holiday time
with your family, then you have every right as the
host to uninvite her. But you have to properly uninvite her.
You can't just ghost her in the group chat and

(04:23):
hope that she doesn't show up, because I think that
can go really, really bad. But yeah, don't be like
Aunt Brenda this holiday season. Bring something to the table.
Bring if you can't cook, bring a nice cocktail or beverage,
or a good dessert or acts to bring. You know,
do you want me to bring the plastic war or
whatever you're using the silverware? Just bring something to the

(04:46):
family function. Don't just show up with your your belly
empty and you ready to eat. I mean, come on, man,
groceries are super expensive. You see how the world is
right now. People are losing their jobs left and right.
So I think every one should try their best to
contribute to the holiday dinner. But you are completely in
controlled on who you spend it with and how you

(05:07):
spend your holiday. But I do think there needs to
be a conversation, so help. I'm Brenda out.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Child.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Brenda is just greedy, but it's always it's always one
in every family.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
So let me know your thoughts, though, of course you
are the jury.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
I got a video posted on our Instagram Fresh Show
Radio at on air key kyk e k e. And
you know we'll have more cases coming up this week
and obviously every Monday on the Fred Show around eight
oh five. So love you friend, and oh else that
I want to tell you I don't remember anyway. I'll

(05:41):
talk to you tomorrow on the radio anyway, Love you bye,
