Tough Talk,
My wife’s sister is constantly correcting people on their etiquette whenever she is able. We go out most Fridays for dinner which our whole family loves, but she now ruins it and no one can stand being with her. Especially when she drinks, if you know what I mean TT. Like she is so smart for knowing what stupid fork to use and jumping all over an 8 year-old girl because she doesn’t. Everyone is sick of her and she is too stupid to keep her fat mouth shut or just doesn’t care. What should I do? (Louisburg, Utah)
Louisburg,
This is a tough situation and I’m glad you asked for some tough talk. My first reaction would be to tell her to keep her mouth shut the next time she pulls any nonsense. But then I think, maybe the best way to handle this is to cut her loose. You and your family should tell her you’re not having your weekly get-together, but instead go to another restaurant and blow her off. One day, she’ll find out and you tell her that no one likes her and can’t stand her big fat mouth. And of course, have this discussion in front of that little kid she mocked out. You will enjoy this talk when it happens as it’s only a matter of time.
