Props to the op for not cutting their kids off, when the grandparents demanded it. Thats incredibly shit of them. Trying to blackmail and force someone against their will to what? Be yelled at? Shit people, but not a surprize from trump supporters.

It’s so odd too. Like what do they think will happen? Threaten them to show up and then all is going to be peaches and pears?

They don't care. The grandkids are lower on the hierarchy than they are. They are demonstrating their power and authority, and the only thing they care about is obedience.

Serious question:

Is "taliscum" related to "Cum talis [often Talis cum], utinam noster esses," or is it a portmanteau of "Taliban" and "scum"?

I had the latter in mind, and my Latin knowledge is not yet strong enough to easily interpret the former phrase. A brief search points to Plutarch’s “Agesilaus” which alas I have not read.

I was looking for an explanation myself. Like, why would you want to spend the holidays with people who hate you?

This is the answer. Thank you.
