Weekend update
Weekend went well. You would think we all see each other on a regular basis. All of us very friendly. I did not cook at all. We ate out.
One of my adult kids was visiting with their SO. SD loudly said to SO, upon introduction, oh I've heard soooo much about you I feel like I know you already." SO felt a bit creeped out. Like what have we telling this stranger about them?
along this theme SD always asks tons of questions about my adult kids she has not laid eyes on in over 16 years!! One was a bit too personal so I responded with something along the lines like why are you so curious, you guys would not recognize each other if you bumped into on the street! I did not say it unkindly and I think she got the messsge. I feel if she wants info about someone she needs to actually engage with them. I would never ask her about her sib that I am estranged from. That's just me.
Sounds good. I love your
Sounds good. I love your response to SD, the big phony.
Well played. SD has gained no trust. Make her do the work.
Acceptance has to be earned. If not earned, that individual has to be kept at proverbial arm's length.
IMHO of course.
Love It
Especially that you got your point across in a "funny" way.
She probably read an article
She probably read an article on how to make friends and only retained the "ask lots of questions about them"
!
So glad your weekend went well! I like how you shut down the nosiness, well played. Isn't it interesting how sometimes people feel, that in order to be polite, they need to answer invasive questions?
Good for you!!
coming back with questions to ignorant questions like hers is the only way to shut these narcissists down. I'm happy for you!
