Tough Talk,
My sister-in law is a nasty piece of work. She is the wife of my younger brother and as much as I do my best to tolerate her, she is always making rude and snide remarks. She’s bitter and rude. I tell my brother to snap her in line and he just looks at me like I’m a complete moron. At the last family picnic, one of our great aunts made some chicken curry salad that just wasn’t good. She just wouldn’t let it drop – – talking and talking about how awful it was and how old our aunt is with all sorts of smug and arrogant comments. What should I do TT? (Santa Fe, NM)
Having a snot nose wench as a family member is a very difficult situation which is quite common with how Americans spoil their children rotten. The best way to approach this is to tell her to shut her GD pie hole when she starts cranking out the ugliness. TT also believes that you and your brother are probably gutless and must take responsibility for not putting her in her place when this also started. Tell your brother to be man and not a toad and to take action or else you will! Nip this in the bus as soon as possible.
