Sunday lunch,
Visitors.
A morning of prep
Cooking, cleaning
Washing up
Orders barked
Abuse delivered
Humiliation a plenty.
Keep stirring
Caramel sauce
How I hate it.
Not the purple tablecloth
What were you thinking?
Its not ironed anyway.
No thought for others
Impression the name of the game.
Cost?
Immaterial.
Dollars? What it takes.
Emotions? Who cares?
Wounds festering
Resentment abounding
Job done.
Knock knock
Happy families.
Now who’ll say grace?

Another visit to the happy household? Hmm I freak out like that too at times. Felt the tension in this.
Thank you Jenny my past affords me many examples.
A wonder anybody can eat after such preparations!
Yes exactly but happy families do. Thanks for your comment Gabriella.
Ah yes…know something aout some of these “happy families” and their Sunday dinners! Great take on the prompt!
Thank you so much Georgia, I am happy to participate. Good prompt this week.
Glad you liked the prompt…even more, glad you participate!
I will always make an effort Georgia. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Michael…you give me a great incentive to do my best!
My pleasure.
You said it very well!…
Thank you Lindy for reading my post.
If that’s happy families, I’d hate to see unhappy. Whew, not a good place to be. You wrote it well though Michael.
Thanks Jackie, my past is full of such diabolical tales.
Gosh – So glad that all I have to basically do is show up. LOL
You do RoSy and bring an apple pie…lol

Well worth the fuss. Nice string of words.
Thanks Kim. Hope you are doing ok.
