I just have to vent about how much I loathe DH's mother and her entire side of the family. SD's side of the family is easy going and BD's side of the family is very nice..his mom and her side of the family ..total pain in my ass. They always volunteer me for things and events and expect me to be there, put me on the spot and try to guilt trip me. His mom and I bump heads but i TRY to get along with her. She is a major type A personality, bossy, controlling, loud, and can't cut the umbilical cord from DH no matter how many times he tells her to back off, she would probably breast feed SS6 if she could (figure of speech) part of the reason he is such a little shit. I can't stand DH's sister..she is pretty much a younger version of DH's mom..just bossier and feels entitled though she hasn't done shit with her life besides be a military wife and alcoholic. I want to just tell her straight up, LOOK we aren't friends, just because I married your brother it doesn't mean we have to be friends. Last year we got into a facebook argument of all things, because she thought my status was her diary. She didn't like what i had to say, though it was something silly and had nothing to do with her...funny how some ppl make everything about THEM. It ended with me telling her and her husband to kiss my a.s.s. Being the bigger person hours later I apologized to her, not because I was sorry because i wasn't..she never responded and ignored me for weeks then magically went back to talking to me like nothing ever happened. Im still pissed, had she not been his family i would have told her where to stick it, blocked her and never gave her another thought. On top of this he has an elderly overly opinionated aunt. No matter what i say, she has something negative to say back. I swear she should be a suicide crisis counselor (NOT) when my son was born last year she kept saying oh he looks like DH and SS...umm this is MY child and he looks like ME, she pissed me off SOOOO bad. BS1 looks absolutely NOTHING like SS. It was like she was trying to piss me off ( it worked) DH has some OK cousins, one is a snob but i can live with that if she keeps her opinions about my life to herself. I love his BD's family. They are very accepting, easy going, mind their own business, and dont expect me to toe some imaginary line that his mother and her side of the family seem to dilusionally drawn for me. Im a type B, quiet, mind my business, shy unless i like you, mousey even. I dont come out of my shell unless I feel comfortable around you. How can i better get along with these people? As for his sister I want to write her off all together. She literally has ONE more time to cross the line with me or it might be a fist fight...id rather just write her off. Why be friends with ppl you cant stand?! :jawdrop:
