TANNER'S MOM wrote: Or would this bother you..

I haven't heard from my SIL in months.. well since Aug..when I called about her son's birthday.

She calls last night.. and this is our conversation.. The house phone rings..

Hello;
Is my My brother there.
No I am sorry he is in the woods with Tanner...
Oh
How are you
Fine
Summer and Colton?
Fine.
When do you expect MY brother back?
Around dark I think
Will you tell My brother I called.

Ok here I bit.. I couldn't take it anymore.
I said I will tell my husband his sister called as soon as he gets back... to which I hear click..

Ok I knwo I was being a smart a too.. but I KNOW she is his sister.. I tried to ask about her kids and family.... to which she says nothing..and asks nothing of me.

When Randy calls her back.. she was calling to invite us to Summers bday party.. Umm and she can't tell me??

Is it just me.. or would have been offended too?

Plus.. all 4 of my kids have had a party.. and birthdays this year to which no one has come or called. After I called Colton in August..Britt and Tiff had bday to which no calls..

Urgggghhhhh

Boys r us replied: What a freak!! Yeah..I'd be a little bit peeved as well!!

mckayleesmom replied: How rude......

Kaitlin'smom replied: HOW rude and inmature! what a PITA, reminds me of how my sister is. URRR I would have been peved also, and IMO I woudl NOT be going.

kimberley replied: i'd be upset too. that's rude!

moped replied: Been there - trust me - SIL does that to me too..........I could go on and on!!!!

Sorry mel, I would be upset too!

Insanemomof3 replied: I really would have been mad. Although, I would probably call her back and ask her what her problem is. People like that make me crazy.

A&A'smommy replied: quite frankly I wouldn't go or call either I know you want to be kind to the children but why should YOU have to call when its HER brothers neices and nephews I would let him make the decison "call or not to call" and if he decides not too (most men choose not too ) THEN I would not worry about it! Sorry If I sound blunt

amymom replied: yes I would be upset too. I have four brothers and would never do that.

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: She sounds mad about something Mel. Not trying to take her side, but do you know what it is? She's being immature by not telling you and playing the cold shoulder game, but why not just flat out ask her what's her deal? It is rude that she hasn't called forever and didn't show up at your kids' parties, but IMO, it only gets worse if you both let it go on like this. KWIM? Sorry, I don't mean to sound harsh, because I'm not in your shoes...but I like to nip things in the bud before they go too far. Or have Randy ask? Family can be so hard sometimes!

TANNER'S MOM replied: Well Randy told his family we were a WHOLE family.. or not to call us again..meaning that my kids counted as much as his.. This was last Christmas really.

So, alot of this year I haven't heard from them. But I always remember there bdays..and try to at least call.

To which they only remember Tiff and tanner's. Randy's kids. I guess she is still bitter.. But I don't really care. But if she wants to speak to her BROTHER.. and not me at all she can call his cell phone..and if not she can talk to me like a normal person when she rings my phone.

I thinking of sending her an email.. Because I have a temper...and if she smart a's me.. then I would say things I shouldn't.

And again.. she didn't ask about OUR kids..when I asked of hers.. so! it makes me mad!

3xsthefun replied: That is rude!

JAYMESMOM replied: That is rude. I have a rule that if you don't come to my kids I dont come to yours. Why should I waste my time running all over for you and yours when you don't care about mine.

Also HOW RUDE of his family not to accept your kids. My step-son is loved just as much as my daughter by all my family even my cousins etc. He is looked at no different. When grown-ups act like that they do not realize what message they are sending to children. That is why society is so screwed up. What happened to loving everyone.


Ok - I am done. LOL.

I would email her and ask her what her problem is.

MyLuvBugs replied: WOW Mel. And I thought my SIL was bad. lol What a snotty blankity blank!! What the heck did you ever do to her? Goodness! Granted I wasn't there to hear the tone in both voices, but it sounds like you were trying to be nice and she was just being a B$*%#. Sorry. I would definately be completely and utterly offended. Maybe you should call her and ask her if you've done anything to offend her.

CosmetologyMommy replied: Did u do something to her that u are not aware of? If u ask me, she is not being very mature.

My3LilMonkeys replied: I would be livid!
