I'll give you mine!
Apologies in advance for this vent.
I'm so sick of them. A few years ago the comment was " I have no idea how you'll put your kids through school". I felt like I was slapped in the face. My kids are well provided for! And I actually have NO intention of paying their way through! And they go on and on about how much money they make. Well, in the last 5 years, they've refinanced 3 times. But since they make SO much money, they are buying a brand NEW rv,(for the 3rd time in 5 years as well), and going on vacation to the US, since she got ANOTHER raise. When we're around them, that's all we hear. Money money money, and how our poor kids don't have much....blah blah blh. Oh how breastfeeding a 1yo is disgusting. Welll....lol. I could go on and on.
Well, NOW, BIL is in a snit, as his wife is close with her sister, but he's not close with his brother, and everything and anything is now under the microscope, he's turning 40 and doesn't want to wear his big boy ginch.
We have neighboring lots in an rv park with MIL and FIL, and SIL and BIL came out for the day twice, both times we've had family meals but at FIL and MIL site. So, apparently we are using them and eating all their food.:furious: Ummm... lets see, we provided meat and veggies, and drinks for everyone. So FIL wanted to run the BBQ, how is that using them? And it goes on and on and ON. I'm sick of it.
I can't WAIT to pay everything off. If I can get dh even 1/2 on board, we'll be mortgage free before he turns 42(4 years or so). They will NEVER be out of debt. NEVER EVER EVER. They wanna be like the Jones. And they are, they're BROKE with lots of things.
I'd LOVE to throw a mortgage burning party! And give a speech. (I'm feeling vindictive), how we learned so much from them on how not to do things. That we chose to live like no one else, so can live like nobody else. That we chose not not to keep up with them and the Joneses because they're broke! And now, before ANY of our kids have entered college, us poor folk with merely a 5 digit income are completely debt free, have a healthy bank account, AND 4 kids
(another rude comment..."why would they have another kid, they can't afford the ones they have").
Sorry venting. I'm sick of his petty comments, of her rude remarks, and of how they try to control MIL and FIL. THey were invited to join us at the camp site, we'd have all been together, but it wasn't posh enough for them. There wasn't enough for their kids to do. Of his whining everytime some one looks at him the wrong way, even if they were actaully looking past him, he'd be offended that they weren't looking at him.
BTW, they won't let their 17 yo boy have a part time job, it interferes too much with their lifestyle. He's a great kid despite, so far. Their 14yo girl is a huge brand snob, won't buy anything used. Snubs her nose at hand made gifts. She's just like her mother, sadly.
I feel so bad for the kids.
Sorry for the vent. I can't say anything to BIL, as I guess I make him feel stupid, as I'm much quicker on my toes than he is. He has cried to mommy time and time again at home rude and mean I am to him. But I've never once tried. I'm quick witted, with dry humor, I guess he just doesn't get it. MIL and FIL do. But he's turning 40! He's not 3.
