[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your cousin sounds like my SIL.  It's all great when people are doing things for her.  Cooking, feeding her kids, looking after them, cleaning up their mess after meals while she does whatever she pleases.

She made plans for her and BIL to go fishing one evening just the two of them.  They sat and made their plans in front of us.  When my nephew asked "who is taking care of us?" nobody said a word.  I watched SIL's face, she was not pleased.  They did not go fishing.  She did the same thing when she wanted to go drinking with her friends.  Nobody jumped in and offered to watch the kids.

We stopped going to the family get together.

Hilarious. Serves her right. Glad no one said they’d watch the nephew. What a moocher.  [/quote]

There are other examples.

We all brought enough food for our own families.  The first year we just pooled everything as it was cooked.  Butter etc was in the fridge.  I brought out our bacon at breakfast one morning.  She looked at it and said "that isn't enough.... ds could eat that himself."  He was about 5.  I said "This is enough for us.... where's yours?" Again with the butter.  She brought theirs out when the rest of it was gone.  (We were at the cabin, people brought their campers as well.)  They were leaving that day.  Someone was taking the butter into the cabin.  SIL said "that goes back on our camper."  The cousin responded with " everyone else's is gone, you just brought this out.  What are the rest of us supposed to do?" Again, silence from SIL.[/quote]
