Just need to let of steam!!!!

[tigwig]

I'm so annoyed! At the moment my hubby is going through a really bad patch work wise and we are really struggling for money. I met with his sister on Friday and she knows the whole situation but couldn't wait to tell me how well her hubby is doing. That was bad enough but now my hubby has just come back from her house and she has felt the need to rub his nose in it and say my hubby's earnt nearly �450 just for working this weekend! I mean so f*cking what?!! Why does she have to be like that? We normally all get on it has made me mad! Rant over , sorry! By the way he is laying cables in the road earns �200 a day for being unqualified and unskilled to do this is this right?!!

people will tire of this kind of bragging. it's just boring. so they can buy the cinema sized plasma TV.. does this make them better or happier people? let them get on with it, they sound dull to me!

and your hubby earns more than I do, and after 22 years in my "career" I come home with my brain frazzled most days :o)

Damn ..sara3 ....I have just fitted a plasma t.v. in the Camper van :-(

If she feels the need to try to demonstrate how better off they than you, then she must see you as a threat and having something she does not. Maybe the love between you and your hubby. Money can't buy health or love.
Take my word for it ....it can't buy health. I use the private health sector and all it buys it quickness. You still get the best on the NHS.

Tell het how good things are between you and your hubby. When she tells you about how well they doing money wise, just tell her how happy you are for them.
This will make her see that you are not that bothered.

and tell her that your kids are better looking.

Mr Raven, you have caused quite a disturbance this evening!

my sister is a lot like that tigwig,constantly boasting about their jobs, wonderful lifestyles and belongings ect, I have no idea why, its a lot of effort to try to make me feel envious but I still dont know why? Im not a materialistic person so the plan never works!

I think you should not let it annoy you, maybe she like to upset you, maybe she can see the reaction in your face and it gives her a thrill?

dont bite!!

[theonlyone]

twiglet are these people as happy as you
and mrtwiglet ??..bet they are jealous so
snipe to upset you ..ignore them ..plod on
things will get better ...believe me they will ...
I have all t shirt to prove it ..stay cool ....

it's not worth being annoyed over. She may not even be doing it intentionally but just responding. For example if your hubby says "We're really struggling this week, money's never been this tight" Then his sister naturally reciprocates this with ' We're not that bad at the moment ? has just earned �450 for the weekend, so we're having it good" if this is the case it's like your hubby saying "I had lamb for dinner and it wasn't very nice" and your sister replies with "We had pork and it was very good"
If you can understand the analogy. She probably didn't think and will be horrified to know it's offended you. I think you should let her know your feelings.

I think she may be jealous of you, thats why she feels the need to 'up' herself when your down...rise above her!

[tigwig]

thanks for the answers guys! I'm still a bit annoyed today. You're right though she must be jealous of us, our relationship especially I think cos no matter how tough things are and have been in the past we stick together and get through it. They have huge rows quite often. Does anyone know about the work though? Is she lying or what about the money?
