who here has a family member that they cant stand? my sil drives me nuts, we spend a lot of time with family and her presence makes me cringe!
Like SIL. She insists on being everyone's mother all the time. Being nurturing and giving and offering advice is fine. But she tries to dictate how people live their lives so that it's convenient for her. My husband and I moved 30 minutes away and she FLIPPED. Holy cow, lady; we didn't move 300 miles away like we wanted so you should be happy. Then her mother got a new boyfriend for the first time in nearly 20 years and she made every excuse in the world to keep her away from him. She actually calls her mother up to TEN times a day when she's out with him "Just to talk" or "make sure everything is ok" she even called once to tell her mother she found the remote. LET. YOUR. MOTHER. BREATHE.
I'm not a fan of my husband's grandparents sometimes either because his grandmother is a hoarder and it irritates me so much that she would live that way and her husband just lets it happen because he doesn't want to fight. What?! She's nearly 70 and her health is failing and you won't put your foot down to quite possibly save her life? Ugh!
But I still smile and be nice and I never say these things to them because I've only been in the family for six years so who am I to jump in and play psychiatrist? Underneath, they're good people. No need to stir the pot.
My mother and brother. I cant stand them. Its a long story on why, but they are just awful people.
I have a couple that I don't really care for. One in my family and two in dh's. I don't rock the boat though. They're family so I'm respectful until they give me a reason not to be. That's only happened once with dh's family.
Well I could never live with my mil again. Her ADD drives me crazy.
