Well the Wife's family to be frank!
Boils my piss!!! We are making the effort to goto 'Boro this weekend and take her Dad out for a Fathers Day meal.
Financially this will costs us about £150 in the Car (we are over our allocated mileage now so each extra mile costs) and then the Dinner will cost us the best part of £120 as we will have to pay for us, her Mam and Dad and her Mam's wine problem (problem is she can not get enough).
Now, we don't go home every Mothers Day/Fathers day as we are 250 miles away. My Dad lives in Turkey and he is happy with a card and a Skype chat.
But this is the bit that boils my piss... We live 250 miles away and make the effort. Her Brother lives in Austria so I guess he is off the hook.
She then has two sisters. The youngest is joining us, as is her Fiancee who is sacrificing Fathers Day with his Dad to join.
The middle Sister... Well this is it! She has 'Middle Child Syndrome'. Recently due to events she has become the chatter in the family and the one her Mam has to look after and never shuts up about. In fact the Priest at her Mam's church pulled up the Mother-in-law and asked her 'You do have other children don't you? You only ever seem to mention one of them'. Anyhow, her Husband is at work but she is 'Busy'... She cannot attend...
Now, normally that is fair enough but it is a close family (Her Mam would have them all breed with her Brother if she fucking could) and the 'middle Sister' has of late been financially fleecing her Dad. Seriously fleecing!
We are talking borrowing £20k+ for a house deposit and only makes the odd payment, this is after she spunked £30k up the wall after a split a couple of years ago!
Her Dad bought them a Car.
Her Dad is buying a Caravan at her request, of which she will be the one who will commandeer it.
She got double her allocation of cash from her Dad's pension when she got married.
Etc...
All of this and yet she can not be bothered to pop along for dinner!!!! I have an endless list of other things that have happened with her and how everything revolves around her. Plans been changed to accommodate her without others been notified etc.. etc..
When I bring this up with the Wife, I have to back off and she says 'Oh well, it is just my sister and how she is'. I mean what is that all about!
Absolutely disgusting behaviour.
