bro sent an email to ol' boy/girl last night. Basically a rant.. i'll write a list:

Unfair that they can't force room changes.
SIL is pregnant so they want an extra room for them when they visit (which is for a day or two a year).
It's my fault they don't visit because I told them to fuck off when they tried to change sleeping arrangements last xmas.
Family doesn't respect the fact SIL is pregnant (ol' boy who is in a related field hooked them with IVF and paid for it).
Family doesn't respect their marriage (ol' boy paid for their wedding)
That it 'hurts' they aren't getting their way (guilt trip about how bro would like to see them more but won't because they aren't bending to them).
Because I'm not married they get to choose shit.

I predicted that they'd try and guilt the p's into changing shit just for them and blame me. Don't really know why I'm caught up in this.

Highly manipulative shit.

But why he sent that to the ol' girl is fucked. In early Jan she's about to find out if she's going to be totally blind. We're all stressing about that and there's bro pulling shit like this. She's stressed enough.

I swear SIL is pulling the strings.

I will not make them feel welcome next time I see them.

Thank you for listening :)

WTF: 4. AND 5.

I just have too many bad words… In more than one language, LOL.

Methinks it’s a shame there wasn’t several different instances of 3.

HNY! 🎉 To less FWs in 2025.
