[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh my ... is this for real?  This has got to be one of the absolute most shocking threads I've ever read on DCUM just because of the continued responses and the fact that the OP (who I choose to believe must be a troll) keeps just feeding the negative posters so that the whole thread has turned into a back and forth of insults rather than a useful discussion.

This makes me sad because I've gotten a lot of great advice from DCUM, really, and this kind of thing just feeds that perception of DCUM as a bunch of snarky rich women being mean and jealous of each other, which is quite the opposite of what I've found when I've asked for real advice, taken even the advice that might have not been exactly what I would have LIKED to hear, and ignored the haters.  I'm sorry that OP (or a troll?) has taken the low-road on this one.  Hoping others don't read this and lump all DC women together with the ones represented on this thread.  How disappointing.[/quote]

The meanness started with the OTHER women, not me, PP. It's because I compared my sister's life to mine and starting listing all the privileges and benefits I had in my life that got women all riled up. Maybe they could relate more to the flaws I pointed out in my sister so the claws came out.

I provided all the detailed comparisons and detailed examples of her behavior to show that mine is a long standing and extreme situation, not one that can easily be resolved with taking the "high road" or simply ignoring her. Here's an update: My mother finally told my sister I was pregnant and said she has been peppering her with nonstop questions about my pregnancy. I've taken the one piece of decent advice on this entire disgraceful thread though. I have not told my mother any details of my pregnancy so that she would no longer be in the uncomfortable position of having to lie anymore. So now all my mother will say to my sister, truthfully, is: "I don't know." But my mother describes my sister as a fish out of water now. This is why I avoided letting her know.

There are many good people in this world. But don't think for one minute that every woman is good simply because she is family. For those of you who have had seriously jealous family members like this, you know what I'm talking about. For those who haven't, you shouldn't have gotten involved in this discussion then because you have no frame of reference and no advice to provide. So providing unsupportive comments or insults detracted from the advice I was truly seeking. [/quote]
