Tough Talk: June 6, 2024

Tough Talk,

I have two brother and four sisters.  I moved from the northeast to the southwest with my husband for his work almost ten years ago.  We have visited my family several times and have four of my siblings visit several times.  However, a sister and a brother refuse to visit as if we live in the desert or a prison and always blame their spouses on not wanting to go.  I think it best that I just let it slide and stop bothering them.  What’s your opinion TT?

Monty,

I wouldn’t let this slide at all.  You need to be “proactive” and immediately invite them to your home and when they blow you off, you tell them what squid and losers they are and that blaming the spouse is just a cop-out.  Who do they think they are?  This is about family GDI.
